On latest episode of Turning Points in France: Literary specialist, author and Professor – Clíona Ní Ríordáin

In this episode of Turning Points, Patricia Killeen welcomed Clíona Ní Ríordáin from Cork in
Ireland. Clíona is a literary specialist, an author and a Professor at the Sorbonne Nouvelle-
Paris 3 university. Now actually living in Paris longer than she lived in her native Cork,
Clíona explained why she considers herself to be “a Parisienne” and discussed the inspirations
and experiences that led to this realization.

She also spoke about the joy and challenges of welcoming post pandemic students back to
campus after a two-year absence and mid-year moving the university to a new campus in the
12th arrondissement.

Between February and May 2022, Clíona hosted monthly conversations with translators, who
translated James Joyce’s “Ulysses” into French, Portuguese and Italian.

Her passion for literature, translation, and bringing wonderful words to a wide public, is
continued in her new work entitled “Plus loin encore” (published by Circé) which will be
published this autumn. It is a personal anthology of poems by Irish poet Gerry Murphy
translated into French. She is also looking forward to co-organizing poet John Montague’s
Memorial Conference, in June 2023 at the Centre Culturel Irlandais.

And tune into your inner “Parisienne” with Clíona reading her extraordinarily beautiful essay
on Irish national radio:
“Why I am a Parisienne” https://www.rte.ie/radio/radio1/clips/22119094/

The New Paris show: Stand-up and humour in Paris with comedian Sarah Donnelly

“I was reared on stand up comedians. Growing up, I was exposed to the greats: George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock. My near religious weeknight ritual with my father was watching the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and being permitted to watch The Chapelle Show even though the subject matter was Arguably a bit inappropriate for a young teen. But when I first moved to Paris, I all but lost that connection. The bonding power of comedy. The most beloved french comics just didn’t hit the same way. It wasn’t until years later, when an English comic named Paul Taylor came up for his What the Fuck France series, that I started to seek out more of that world. And fortunately, there’s now a robust English language comedy scene in Paris that feels on the cusp of international recognition. One of the leading voices of that movement is todays guest, the very very funny American comic Sarah Donnelly.”

Let’s discover the 3rd arrondissement of Paris: The Earful Tower show takes us with

“The famed Marais neighbourhood spans two Paris districts, the third and the fourth. We visited the fourth last week, and found it to be full of lovely old architecture, ancient islands, and the mighty Seine river. But this week, it’s all about the “new” Marais in the third arrondissement. Bustling cafe scenes, hip boutiques with hip characters, and fashionable flaneurs and flaneuses. The third is the place to see and be seen. And we loved it. ”
