Anyway, I hope The Fabulists makes it to the screen. I'm just about to go exploring now (for the umpteenth time) and expect that as usual I'll find plenty to fascinate me on the links. All the best, William Hi Philip,

That means a lot. I think it's being downloaded quite a bit, but not so much feedback, at least not in print. Glad you enjoyed it. Nice to discover your very interesting blog. Will link as soon as I get a minute. I missed the Cronin/Toibin interview too - there were so many literary events on last night, in my case the launch of Mickle Makes Muckle, by my German friend Michael Augustin (translated by his wife Sujata Bhatt). Enjoy Irish Literary Revival. There's some nice stuff there and there'll be more as soon as time allows. Thanks for that, PJ. That means a lot.

I'm coming late to this particular game - I just finished reading The Fabulists online last week! Thanks for making it available online. I enjoyed dropping into the world of Tess & Mungo. Brought back memories of a Dublin that seems to have slipped dimensions in 2 decades. The associated decrease in secondhand bookshops in Dublin means that finding out of print Irish books is down to whether they show up in the library (where I just came across Mogue Doyle's book 'A Moth at the Glass' or some other unexpected place. Which is why the literary revival site is such a good idea, IMHO. I'll be popping over there shortly to check out your poems. Hi Philip.

The tale that unfolds in this thick, satisfying volume is not particularly complex - any more than the circumstances of any of our lives are complex, which is to say, infinitely and infinitesimally so. Through the interweaving and the overlapping of these relationships, Casey examines how human nature is shaped by sorrow; how people will find a way - sometimes, it seems, despite themselves - to take comfort from others, to make homes where they can, even among the ruins. Casey's technique, too, is one of interweaving and overlapping. He will tell the same story more than once, each time from a different vantage point: Of course, it is not the "same story" that's told, which is precisely the point. As an idea in the abstract this might seem laboured; in the novel, however, it works seamlessly, simply functioning as it is meant to and unfolding the story like a fan. . . . The Water Star is a graceful, gentle novel that does not shy from the truth. - Erica Wagner, The Times full review [...] [...] Casey is a poet and a playwright; he has a poet’s delicate ear and a playwright’s eye for direction .
