Edi Stark talks to multi-award winning Irish novelist and playwright Sebastian Barry about his precarious childhood and how he met his wife.

Stark Talk is back and Edi is talking to the marvellous multi-award winning novelist and playwright Sebastian Barry, one of Ireland's finest writers. In a moving, wide ranging interview he talks about his precarious childhood in Dublin, how he met his wife by borrowing five pounds to go drinking and why he plunders the little known histories of his own forebears to act as medicine for the future of his own children.
