The island setting in Fun and Games allowed John Patrick McHugh to examine the good and bad of living in a small town and the Gaelic football scenes captured the beauty and prose of the sport. We do love the author readings at the DCU Book Club!

John Patrick McHugh talks about how great it was to spend time with the characters when he was writing Fun and Games. The novel gets into the main character's head - fiction should explore the complexity and grey areas in people in a way that feels real.
