Fighting Gravity

February 24, 2011

I met Peadar Ó Guilín at Worldcon last summer in Montreal. We were introduced in the participants’ green room by a mutual colleague, and when I asked Peadar what his novel was about, he gave me a sheepish grin and his lovely Irish accent twisted in that universal tone of voice that means this is [...]
