Massively enjoyed my evening with the DCU book club -- thanks so much for the warm welcome and the insightful questions. I was very touched that at least one person liked Hal and wanted him to be happy.
Allen Bratton reads from his novel Henry Henry at tonight's @dublincityuni.bsky.social Book Club in DCU Library - a response in fiction to characters in Shakespeare's Henriad
