"Ireland takes its literary culture for granted sometimes. Compared to other places, it's still a good place."
 
The author Kevin Barry -- who was our guest on Sunday's show -- has contributed enormously to Irish culture over the past few years, with novels including Beatlebone and City of Bohane, and now his play Autumn Royal, which begins a nationwide run in Ireland this week.
