Novelist Brian McGilloway explores how Derry-Londonderry's urban landscape shaped him creatively, from the river Foyle which divides the city, to its dark streets and alleyways.

Novelist Brian McGilloway was born and brought up in Derry, a city from which his imagination has never quite escaped. He explores how the urban landscape shaped him creatively, from the river Foyle which divides the city, to its dark, tangled streets and alleyways, and the strange hinterland of the nearby Donegal border. As his writing progressed, the city began to take shape as a character in its own right, one which continues to feed and inspire his imagination.
