I have several collections of his work, both short stories and novels, but I don’t have The Last Stories. Hearing them read on BBC Sounds is a treat! He and Ted Chiang are my favorite short story authors . . .

Author Rec: Dervla McTiernan

Dervla McTiernan is from Ireland but now lives in Australia. She was a lawyer in Ireland and after moving to Australia started writing her first published novel, The Ruin. It is the beginning of a series about detective Cormac Reilly.

Cormac is a flawed yet likable character, who struggles with his life choices. There are four books in the series so far:

The Ruin

The Scholar

The Good Turn

The Sisters (which is a prequel to the series)

McTiernan's newest thriller, The Murder Rule, just debuted in May. I was very surprised when the audiobook started and the narrator had an American accent! The book takes place on the east coast of the USA. It is very different than the Cormac Reilly series. The protagonist is a law student who doesn't exactly have many scruples regarding breaking the law.

The details are authentic and I was surprised that it was so well executed by someone who didn't grow up in the States. The plot is original and interesting and contains plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader engaged.

I have listened to all of McTiernan's novels and I like the Cormac Reilly series best. My favorite book in the series is The Ruin, which is the one you should start with if reading the books in order. "The Sisters" is very short and it didn't seem to make a difference that I listened to it last.

McTiernan has another short story only available as an Audible exclusive (Editor's Note: aka, Amazon has refused to sell copies to libraries) called "The Wrong One". It isn't on the top of my list, so I don't think there is a need to go out and subscribe to Amazon, especially when we have other great books at the library that are free to borrow!

Live coverage of the 10th of January 2024 is now closed.

Here is a recap of today's major events.

It is 12am in Ireland now so I have to go to bed.

I'll be back to resume live updates in the afternoon, but due to the ICJ case taking place allegedly being public I may be watching it as it happens if it's streamed. I'll be trying to update during, it's hard not to be glued to a historic event as it occurs.

Also, before I leave, this link will let you buy olive tree saplings for Palestinian farmers. I hope one day I can visit the trees I donated and the farmers who will raise them:

James captured this image by drone this morning as the sun and clouds conspired to conjure a dramatic Winter sky over the turf-smoke haze and hard frost of my home village in the Irish countryside.

Many of my ardent admirers would be roundly shocked and disturbed if they realised that everything I believe is thoroughly moral, thoroughly Catholic, and that it is these beliefs that give my work its chief characteristics.

reading a book about colonialism in early modern ireland that only quotes anglophone scholarship and sources

#the author is not irish and has no irish. apparently not even enough to quote in it #dunno man i feel like I don't even need to read the book he just summarised it right there

Thinking about how hozier is so Irish and Noah Kahan is so American ya know

#like with hozier u can see that influence in like the songs about nature and the catholic church and the references to irish authors #u can also hear it in his music a bit with the biting melodies and the synocopated parts underneath #and noah kahan.... #u can hear that influence of folk and country music that runs through a lot of american singers #like the need to tell a story in that kind of way #and how politics are interwoven seemlessly into those songs #but what do they have in common... #just wailing about how theyll do anything for their love #even if it destroys them #lets not think too hard about why that impacts me so much #anyways thats it #hozier #noah kahan #take me to church #stick season

"Tell Us The Craic" Books To Read After Watching Derry Girls

“Tell Us The Craic” Books To Read After Watching Derry Girls

I LOVE the Netflix show Derry Girls. Derry Girls was added something a wee bit different to the comedy genre. It not only talked about a difficult but vital time period of a country’s history, but it also didn’t make the Troubles the overlying plot of the show’s plot. With humor and realism, it captured the ups and downs of growing up, even if there is an internal conflict going on. You couldn’t…

Marianne had the sense that her real life was happening somewhere very far away, happening without her, and she didn't know if she would ever find out where it was or become part of it.

The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'. Both an insight into Joyce's life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to blossom fully into themselves.
