His new book Boulevard Wren and Other Stories is the incredible follow-up to the bestselling Gospel According to Blindboy, and a warped mirror held up to the Irish psyche. Number 1 in the book charts. Thank you very much ❤️ https://t.co/cRHYztim7I — Rubber Bandits (@Rubberbandits) November 5, 2019 'Provocative and unsettling, the stories rove through the centuries, from the barren fields of Famine-struck Meath to the chaotic landscape of the near future, where social media has colonised the deepest recesses of the human subconscious.

He also tells us the reason over 60% of his podcast listeners are from outside Ireland and reveals how pre-war Russian royalty spoke with a Limerick accent. A boy the Tsar!
