by Caimh McDonnell
LB’S NOTE: As of this particular moment (as opposed to that non-particular moment, I suppose), Caimh McDonnell (“comedian, writer, Irishman,” as his blog tells all who discover it) is my favorite novelist because of his ability to make genre detective stories read like literary fiction.
So imagine my surprise when I discovered that his skill is about as far from accidental as can be. Dood not only knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s happy to share that knowledge with the rest of us grunts.
So listen, listen good. No, not with your ears. He’s a writer, dammit, not an AI voice. Anyway:
