Aidan Higgins

Aidan Higgins (born March 3, 1927) is an Irish writer.

His upbringing in a landed Catholic family in Celbridge, County Kildare, Ireland, provided material for his first experimental novel, "Langrishe, Go Down" (1966). The book was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction and was later adapted as a BBC television film by British playwright Harold Pinter, in association with Radio Telefis Eireann.

His 1972 novel, "Balcony of Europe" was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.

Various writings have been collected and reprinted by the Dalkey Archive Press, including his three volume autobiography, "A Bestiary", and a collection of fiction, "Flotsam and Jetsam", both of which demonstrate his wide erudition and his experience of life and travel in South Africa, Germany and London which gives his writing a largely cosmopolitan feel, utilizing a range of European languages in turns of phrase.

He now lives in Kinsale, County Cork, and is a Saoi of Aosdána.
