The 8th International Flann O'Brien Conference
The 8th International Flann O'Brien Conference is set to bring a vibrant gathering of scholars and enthusiasts of Flann O Brien's work to Strabane's Alley Theatre
Jointly hosted by the International Flann O'Brien Society and Strabane History Society the conference marks a significant return to O 'Nolan's birth town, Strabane. The town, with its unique geographical and historical position perfectly embodies themes of fluidity and contested spaces — concepts central to O'Brien's satirical and often surreal literary output.
Join us for an extraordinary celebration of one of Ireland's most iconic literary voices – featuring world-class speakers, walking tours, film, exhibitions, and performances rooted in the cultural soul of Strabane.
