Saw it last week, I thought it was brilliant!
A well-thumbed Bloomsday to you all. Apart from the obvious, what are the best books (fiction, non fiction, poetry) about Dublin?
Can report that it is very much worth seeing.

Riot. Strike. Riot.
oh Joshua Clover we love you get up
Ah god dammit. Joshua Clover wrote about both people and music as if he loved them so much he couldn’t bear it, & indeed he really did love them like this, to the joy of those he knew & shaped, & to the consternation of those who loved either less. What a loss. www.theparisreview.org/blog/2021/11...
We are devastated to say that our comrade, teacher and friend Joshua Clover passed away last night. He is irreplaceable; We will miss him forever.

I’m remembering today, as an asthmatic child who’d a number of bad chest doses between ages 6 and 12, watching Pat Ingoldsby on his RTÉ TV show, as he takes out his blue inhaler, upturns it to the camera, and transforms it into a submarine periscope. 💚 #PatIngoldsby #Ireland #Legend
