About This Event
The event 'No One Tells You | Lunchtime Talk with Carlo Gébler' will take place on 5 November 2026 at the National Library of Ireland in Dublin. Author Carlo Gébler will discuss themes around understanding death and coping with loss. Tickets are €8 and booking is required.
Join author Carlo Gébler as he explores what sense is one to make of the death of another? Adopt the stoic position, endure and learn? Accept death, whatever else it is, as educational? It often seems that’s what the culture would like us to do but in No One Tells You, the Last Years of Edna O’Brien (New Island) Gébler’s tack is that death is an appalling diminution about which there is nothing good to be said. Hurt is hurt. Grief isn’t educational—it’s enlarging, which is something else entirely. Carlo Gébler ’s most recent publications include I, Antigone , the biography of Oedipus as written by his daughter, Antigone, and A Cold Eye, Notes from a Shared Island 1989 – 2024. His latest memoir is, No One Tells You, the Last Years of Edna O’Brien. Carlo has been a prison teacher since the mid-1990s. He teaches at Trinity College Dublin, based in the Oscar Wilde Centre for Irish Writing. He is a member of Aosdána. Please note Dublin Book Festival may be capturing imagery at this event for use on social media and website.
