Damian Lanigan

Joining Georgina Godwin in the studio this week is author and playwright Damian Lanigan. In his latest book, ‘The Ghost Variations’, protagonist Declan Byrnie’s career as a sought-after concert pianist is brought to a halt when tragedy strikes. Despite Lanigan having never played an instrument, he beautifully translates music to the page and the complexities of the piano as both a barrier and conduit to exploring feelings of love and grief.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
