A few weeks ago, I took part in a discussion with the brilliant Olivia O'Leary as part of the Dublin Book Festival. They've made a podcast out of it, so, for anyone interested, here it is.

I’ve just finished Máiria Cahill’s book, Rough Beast. I’ve known and followed her story over the years, and met her a couple of times. Nothing, however, could be a preparation for this book. I’m quite a slow reader but I read this in record time. 1/3

Here I am, escaping electionitis. Everyone in good form?

Fancy seeing you here Máiría @cahillbooks.bsky.social. Started reading it yesterday ❤️
