I am very pleased to announce that Phil King/@junkshopper's 'Lush: A Far From Home Movie', is now on YouTube for all to see.

Humphrey Jennings' masterful 1942 short film 'Listen to Britain'. The monologue at the beginning was added at the last moment for fear that audiences would be left bewildered by the seemingly random images. It's often described as propaganda, but it's far more poetic than that label suggests.

In terms of shortlists, I can never look at one without thinking about the other books, equally good, that might have been there.
That said, get voting. I’m delighted that The Benefactors is here in such lovely company. www.irishbookawards.ie/vote/
