You could hear my eye roll when I was assured this will be regarded as one of the greatest Irish books of the 21stC. (…we’re barely quarter way through 🙄). _Everyone Still Here_ cannot be surpassed by any other artwork. Hopefully we’ll have a few other works that might match it in the next 74 years.

Cork - the mid’80s & it was raining - always— always it was raining. Yet I was young & determined to ’have style’ — so I got myself a WHITE waterproof jacket with hood & matching WHITE waterproof trousers. I walked dripping into the pub with the hood up - to hear:- “behold the great walking sperm”
