Thanks Conor. I thought you came up with some interesting talking points. I loved the book. Rooney's hard to beat when it comes to the intricacies of human relations, and not just the romantic. You didnt touch on the Ulysses parallels, the stream of consciousness and the Dublin peregrenations. More importantly, I think, is the sense of Bloom/Peter as outsiders. Oh, and their father is Slovak, not Polish. My Slovak relatives would be outraged!😊

How can she be the face of Irish literature? I can think of at least two Irish writers who are better than her.
