Posted on Fri, 07 Aug 2020

Yes, I get that after For All We Know you might want a break (which is fantastic by the way). I also think story cycles are deceptively hard to do – I spent ages on a book about an estate but I couldn’t get it right. It was horrific.

I could see this like a film short. Superb. Have you ever read Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson? It's worth a read. You could create characters in a town set in Ireland in the same way.

Right there in the middle of the city, a field.

Noodle stalls watch suspiciously as we move

Through the chicken fog, spitting pans, and away

To a field of wet grass and...

Posted on Sun, 14 Jun 2020

Wistful is the word. It has this sense of memories ebbing and flowing. "We can make-believe it's Sunday, when the silence is only the pause before we begin again..." Superb.

Posted on Tue, 09 Jun 2020

I love how the imagery and dialogue are interlaced. The cloud imagery against the shop works really well together. You build a mood of lives changing in mundane moments, especially in the exchange where the guy says,  "Shur I’ve me whole life...
