Didn't expect the Ross O'Carrol-Kelly creator to be like this, great interview and series by the way. Keep it up :)

Be interested to see whether Ross thinks Irish middle class culture has changed since the recession, or whether we're repeating old mistakes. Great interview.

This is Fantastic Stuff... (The idea of PH as 'outsider' in his own country gives great insight into his later comedic/satirical writing...) I interviewed PH once myself, (for Hot Press Magazine...) and found him as charming and engaging as he appears here. (Though I confess I missed the 'outsider' concept entirely!!!) Interesting that he cites Flann O'Brien's 'The Poor Mouth' as a book he enjoyed as a boy, since his own writings satirize accepted notions of Modern Irish Society in a similar way. The GENIUS of the "Ross O'Carroll Kelly" novels is that he treats all strands of Irish Society with equal, (if affectionate) ridicule. (If posh people saying 'loike...' is funny, then so is working class Dubs referring to a TV 'serious'; pronouncing 'Dracula' as 'Jarakala' and referring to our staple diet as a 'ba-day-toe'...) xx SF

PH is a talking horse.
