Description

On this special episode, Roger Boylan (Killoyle, The Great Pint-Pulling Olympiad, The Adorations) joins Chad and Vince Francone (A Book No One Wants, The Soft Lunacy, Like a Dog) to discuss his life and works, ruminate on Irish humor and the great Flann O’Brien, the use of footnotes to tell a story, and much more.

This is the first in a planned series of episodes talking about Irish books in the Dalkey catalogue. There’s a lot to choose from, although, as teased in this podcast, the next episode will be about The Third Policeman by Flann O’Brien.

The music in this episode is “Southern Life (What That Must Be Like)” by Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory.
