About the Author
Máirín Mc Sweeney
Máirín Mc Sweeney
Máirín Mc Sweeney grew up in beautiful County Kerry, Ireland. With her family she moved to Dublin at age 14 and fell in love with the city which would become the subject of her debut novel How We Mortals Blame The God. She has had many varied careers from running her own interior architecture business, working on humanitarian projects in Gautemala and South Africa, to more recently becoming a teacher of English Literature in Geneva, Switzerland. She earned an MA in Creative Writing in the University of Cape Town, South Africa. An avid traveller, she currently lives in France.
How We Mortals Blame The Gods is Máirín’s first novel, which follows the intricate twists and turns of two couples living on one day in Dublin, June 16th 2004. Inspired by her favourite book Ulysses by James Joyce, her prose is punchy, and modern with a nod to the great man himself.
