Editorial Reviews

"This is a book of thoughts which will sate a hunger many do not yet realise they have." —Réamonn Ó Ciaráin, Books Ireland

"John Moriarty’s musings on life real and imagined [are] skillfully edited by Martin Shaw." —Joe Humphreys, The Irish Times

"To have someone like Martin Shaw act as a guide through the safari of John’s imagination is a great blessing … We are lucky to have him emerging into our consciousness right now, still writing, still probing, still gifted." —Tommy Tiernan
