Claire Keegan's So Late in the Day

Claire Keegan's story So Late in the Day was published last year. We are not going to hear you reading it, but we'll be listening to a recording that Claire made of it. The piece is about an artist who gets rejected from a bursary for his work by 5pm on July 29th 2013. It follows Carl as he tries to cope with what has happened over the past few days and works out how everything must end.
