Just finished this wonderfully insightful novel by Caitriona Lallly. I have always enjoyed our modern Irish female poets, and Caitriona's book is a classic and must read. I have just ordered her new book Home Economics which is out in a few weeks. Can't wait. #Irishauthors #books

Gary Martin and A.R. Mc Nevin explore the idea of "woke" writing and ask what happens when identity is prioritised over story.

Looking through some trees to a river. The river is reflecting the brilliant blue sky above. On the far side of the river more trees are visible.
I really should be writing reviews of the last three books I've read. But it was a beautiful morning so I went for a walk before a busy, working afternoon.

A cluster of daffodils, with grass, bushes and grey sky in the background.
My reviews for #BlueBrewBooks are a bit delayed - and I've already moved on to reading "Milkman" by Anna Burns.
Anyway, here are some #daffodils for #StDavidsDay.

The cover of Roddy Doyle's book "Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha" shows a young boy about to let himself drop down from a wall, which he's still holding with one hand. Born in Dublin in 1958, Roddy Doyle has written a number of novels, books for children, plays and screenplays, and lots of short stories. "Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha" was the winner of the Booker Prize in 1993. The story, told by a ten year old boy, doesn't follow the usual rules of a novel as there are no chapters, just a series of Paddy's thoughts which don't follow in chronological order. In spite of this, you do sense the passage of time as the book progresses. Like any ten year old, Paddy's thoughts jump quickly from one subject to another, with the subjects seemingly unrelated. The book describes a lost world where children roam freely around the area where they live, constantly getting into mischief. The early part of the book focuses on this fun and mischief before real life begins to intrude. I won't give any more detail as I don't want to spoil the story for any potential reader.
"Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha" by Roddy Doyle is a story told by a ten year old boy living in Barry Town, North Dublin, in 1968.
It's a wonderful read - and I highly recommend it!

An image of the cover of a book called "Let's Twist Again" by Leo Cullen. It shows a young boy in jeans and t-shirt, wearing a cape, a Wild West style hat and an eye mask...a child playing cowboys. Leo Cullen is better known as a short story writer, having published "Clocking 90 on the Road to Cloughfern" back in 1994. Unfortunately, this book is out of print, although it can be bought second-hand online. "Let's Twist Again" was published by Blackstaff Press in Belfast in 2001 and is Cullen's only novel. It is also out of print but available second-hand online. The story is largely based on the author's own childhood and youth and follows young Larry Connaughton through his mother's death, his father's remarriage and, subsequently, his stepmother's death. This is a story of loss which is full of life and love. Highly recommended - if you're lucky enough to find a copy.
A story which follows young Larry through his mother's death, his father's remarriage, and, later, his stepmother's death.
