In their conversation with Ondřej Pilný, Kevin Barry and Olivia Smith discuss their conception and development of the literary and artistic journal The Winter Papers, addressing the challenges of introducing a physical form periodical into a marketplace dominated by digital publishing. Kevin also reads from his latest short story collection, That Old Country Music, while explaining the difficulties of developing and maintaining thematic constants within the short story form, and elaborating on tropes of residual folk beliefs in the West of Ireland.
