Great news for Sebastian Barry, an award at last!
Equally good news for the IWC.
And yourself as well, off to read your flash fiction :)
Hi B
Will you do me a favour? Could you bring along the current PIR on Sat? They didn't have it anywhere in Galway last week and my sub copy has not arrived yet. I'd be grateful!
I just want to read the review and maybe photocopy it here.
