To be compared in a breath to the mighty Myles is an accolade only Christmas could bring.
#PickoftheDay is a fine piece from one of the most distinctive voices in our community. A true heir to Flann O'Brien, Sean McNulty serves up another slice of well-written whimsy, The Everlasting Hoax.
Do please share if you like it too.
