The book's ambition is to uniquely yoke familiar histories of New Hollywood with aspects of critical theory that, since the 1950s, have embraced advances in the New Rhetoric as pioneered by literary theorist, philosopher, social analyst and educator Kenneth Burke (1897-1993).

Dear Mercy Hospital Cork
Can you please have mercy on these homes
We're in a housing emergency & surely as a public voluntary hospital you can do better
Property hoarding is not a great look & dereliction is vandalism
Everyone deserves a home

The film peels away narratives within narratives.

And here he is - lost in layers of (fake) greens.

“Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay. I'm always irritated by people who imply that writing fiction is an escape from reality. It is a plunge into reality and it's very shocking to the system.”
― Flannery O'Connor

Barbie director Greta Gerwig is 40 today. In the production notes for her film Lady Bird she cited the influence of Joan Didion, also from Sacramento. She said discovering Didion was "as shattering as if I'd grown up in Dublin and suddenly read James Joyce."

“The main mission of a writer is not to have opinions, but to tell the truth… and to refuse to be an accomplice of lies and inaccurate information. Literature is the house of nuance and opposition to the voices of simplification."

5 mins before going LIVE on the Late Late Show Sinead called me into her dressing room and said she wanted to sing ‘The Times They are Changing’ ..
She spoke about Clerical abuse and then with NO REHEARSAL OR SOUND CHECK just got up and sang her heart out

Am in the Olympia having a pre show drink sitting under this. Sad day. What a life. What a voice. What an extraordinary woman.

I went to the same school as Sinéad in Blackrock, Dublin - I remember her so clearly. She was incredibly quiet, thoughtful, gentle, witty, and stunningly, naturally beautiful. She was fearless and fragile - and completely unique. May she find peace at last. #SinéadOConnor 1/2

[Galway Film Fleadh @GalwayFilm]

A nation weeps... RIP Sinéad O'Connor 💚
