It's a sign of the interweb times, people - Caroline Walshe's Loose Leaves in the Irish Times reports that Greene's Bookshop, which has been selling books on Clare Street, Dublin since 1843, is closing down its retail outlet and going on-line. It's worked a treat for Kenny's in Galway, but 'tis sad all the same. The good news? There's a sale on in Greene's from now until closing-down day, May 25 - so git yo funky asses down dere now, yo! Respeck, peace out.

Declan Burke has published a number of novels, the most recent of which is ABSOLUTE ZERO COOL. As a journalist and critic, he writes and broadcasts on books and film for a variety of media outlets, including the Irish Times, RTE, the Irish Examiner and the Sunday Independent. He has an unfortunate habit of speaking about himself in the third person. All views expressed here are his own and are very likely to be contrary.
