On the Sunday following the Decatur (Georgia) Book Festival, feeling inspired by the meeting of minds there & being in the company of so many kindred spirits of authors & readers. It's enough to make me want to write another book. (You've been warned.) #DBF2025 📚✍️
Stopped by @ugapress.bsky.social’s tent at the Decatur Book Festival to say hi and thank them for publishing a paperback edition of my book with them, “Tracking the Golden Isles,” out in March 2026. #DBF2025
It was great to talk about Portuguese History, culture, society, economy, geography and tourism with David McWilliams @davidmcwecon.bsky.social, Afonso Cruz and Oisín Ó Cuill at the Dalkey Book Festival! #DBF2025
We had excellent engagement and questions from the public!
A brilliant all-action LET’S PLAY RUGBY event with Gordon D’Arcy and Paul Howard at #DBF2025 today! Thanks to all who came and got stuck in!

Carlo Gebler recalling his Stakhanovite mother, Edna O’Brien, her “Colette-esque responsiveness” and experimenting with LSD - great way to kick off the day at the #dbf2025 in Dalkey at - where else - Finnegans
#Trump has fantasy version of US labour market: revert to 1950s for men- white guys earning a lot for factory work; revert to 1940s for women- back into the home, Brown Uni economist Mark Blyth tells davidmurphy.bluesky.social #dbf2025 PS no surprise: it won’t fly
Can't believe #DBF2025 platformed Steven Pinker. He's a sloppy thinker, a bad writer, an unhappy person (which I have sympathy for) and a racist (for which I have none).
Luke O’Neill and Stephen Pinker on a stage with Dalkey book festival branding
Day 1 of the #DalkeyBookFestival -delighted to hear this fascinating conversation between @lukeoneil47.bsky.social and Stephen Pinker #DBF2025
