Books of Dublin - Literary walks, talks and events

Let's celebrate 75 years of this crime classic by reading and discussing. Is there any such thing as the perfect crime?

The fact that, Strangers on a Train has lost none of its power to disturb, is evidence of Highsmith’s extraordinary talent. Her novels, of which she wrote twenty-two over the course of her career, feel disarmingly fresh and modern, from their high concepts and economic style to her groundbreaking and frequently shocking device of allowing the reader to occupy the mind of a killer. Decades before we rooted for Villanelle and Amy Dunne, Tony Soprano and Walter White, we were rooting for Highsmith’s Guy Haines.

Hello Everyone!

Let's read something before coming to the event. It can be a few pages from a book, an article, a poem, an advertisement, a joke, a recipe, a quote, social media content - anything you find interesting. We meet and chat about it, as a starting point of conversation.

Please feel free to bring books :)
