Roddy Doyle: I read Flann O’Brien’s At Swim-Two-Birds when I was 16. [...] It was an extraordinary experience, seeing what I heard every day on the page, and laughing at it because it was so funny and great.

The urgent question of "What happened to new episodes of the Radio Myles podcast??" is not one that anyone is asking

Nevertheless, the explanation is that I have been working on finishing this, my first monograph!
