That is deservedly high praise- Grace Paley? Nice !Congratulations, really enjoying/savouring the book meself. My favourite was the one in India but now I love 'Cowboy and Nellie' and 'Before losing the valise, but mostly after' Jayney mac I still imagine if it were my stuff in the suitcase!
Read that fab review in the Irish Times yesterday and am looking forward to getting my hands on the book, it sounds terrific. Writing short fiction at moment so its great to see another Irish anthology. Will tweet the review link to my writing and reading buddies. Well done and hope it goes really well.
Hooray, Nuala: excellent review. Insightful and thoughtful - makes one want to read the stories oneself (will be doing so). And as for the Brendan Kennelly mention, you're in the best possible company! Best, Min x.
Thanks Min - exalted company indeed. I must read it again. I read it twice the day it was published and have been avoiding it since. Even though I know it's good! The bizarre behaviour of writers...

Thanks y'all. I'm v happy with it. I feel she 'got' the book and that's always pleasing.
It was a good review and obvious that she enjoyed it. Great opening line too.
