"The books seen here are some of the many which will be housed in our new Seamus Heaney Poetry Library at No. 11 Parnell Square."

'With a marvellous cast of characters and even an ending that nods at James Joyce's 'The Dead', it's hard to know what more could be asked of this winning piece of work.' - Pat Carthy, Sunday Independent

INJURY TIME by Kevin Smith is out NOW! It's a brilliant novel-

“Some writers have no ear for the music.”

I interviewed Ian McEwan for the @irishtimes.com about his new novel, about whether “early school leavers make bad decisions” … and what he didn’t like about his friend Martin Amis’s writing.

In print now, online soon.

Fun day in the sun with Kevin Smith signing copies of his amazing novel INJURY TIME all over Dublin!

Signed copies are now available at:
📕 @booksupstairs.bsky.social
📘 Dubray Books Mary St
📗 Hodges Figgis

Big ups to the booksellers for their support ✨️

Incredibly sad. A man with a most beautiful mind - a true intellectual in the best sense of the word.
