Willy Vlautin in conversation with Nadine O’Regan at The Dalkey Book Festival. Willy Vlautin is a writer who is taking the US by storm, described by The Irish Times as the “literary version of a Neil Young or a Tom Petty, bearing a ragged standard for empathy, compassion and decency, a throwback to a generation of novelists who still championed the underclass”. Recorded at The Dalkey Book Festival 14th June 2018
