I'm very pleased to publish an essay by myself and Joseph LaBine about the contexts for Flann O'Brien and the radio. We cover material, cultural and the Adornian theoretical surroundings for Irish radio that shaped writing in Ireland at this time: parishreview.openlibhums.org/article/id/2...
"While fully adhering to academic conventions and norms, the book incorporates the occasional anecdote or apposite quotation, in a gentle version of the Dadaist collage, montage, and bricolage techniques that it describes."
She writes: "One of the remarkable achievements of this volume is Harrisβs ability to treat his material, which ranges from the rise of Fascism to Theodor Adornoβs dense philosophy, not only with great depth and theoretical insight but also with a fluent style and sense of humour."
I'm so pleased to see the Einat Adar's review of my book, 'Breaking the Limits: Flann OβBrienβs Avant-garde Aesthetics', appear in the esteemed Litteraria Pragensia!
The journal is publicly available and you can read the review here: litterariapragensia.ff.cuni.cz/wp-content/u...
It's very exciting to see our special issue of the Parish Review dedicated to Flann O'Brien and RADIO appear with its first article, broadcast by Zan Cammack!
It was amazing to say a few words on Friday at an absolutely packed launch for Joseph LaBine's first collection of Niall Montgomery's poetry, Terminal I: Arrivals, which is available now from Flat Singles Press! Truly a belated launch for a seminar Irish poet.

Thank-you to the @flannobriensoc.bsky.social for sharing this podcast - it's certainly unmissable if you want to learn new and surprising things about #flannobrien
Thank-you Maebh! I love this idea too - it's perhaps quite a powerful development of Berkeley and Wilde's thinking! Fascinating.
