Don't know about you, but TS O'Rourke frightens the shite out of us. So when we mustered the courage to ask, 'Anything cooking over there, Mr O'Rourke, sir?' and he answered, "I'm working on a Dublin-based crime novel right now, it's a real dirty book, great fun to write ... especially the research ... hur-hur-hur," we immediately feared for the ordinary decent civilians of Dublin. But lo! Seems TS isn't so scary after all! Even the rather salubrious Dublin Quarterly thinks so! Which is nice.

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.
