Erm, please do. Righty-o, we’re off for a lie-down with the shades pulled down …“I’ve just been informed that French publishing house Fayard has bought the French rights to The Darkness of Bones and The Redemption Factory. This comes on the heels of American publishing house Avalon Publishing Group purchasing the rights to The Redemption Factory. I have just acquired the rights to my best-selling memoir, On The Brinks (it’s a long story, but they are now back where they belong – with me! Funny how you slave over something for five years, only to be told it is no longer yours???), and I am very confident of seeing On The Brinks being purchased in America as well as by numerous publishers in Europe. Oh, and Brandon (my present publishers) will be marking their 25th year in publishing with a release of a collection of work by twenty-five of its crime writers, in Dublin in September, of which I am one. I’ll keep you informed of the exact date.”

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.
On a subject entirely unrelated to the gentleman above - Hollywood Station - review forthcoming - by Joseph Wambaugh kicks it Choirboys-style.
ReplyDeleteEntirely unrelated matter number two - where the fuck is that gangster George Zip hiding out? I should have capped him back in Bolvia in '89. I won't make that mistake again. Believe it.
Keep rockin'!

Bobby? You were in Bolvia, the Zip was in Bolivia. Easy mistake to make ... let's hope it's not your last. The Zip, he don't need no stinking batches ...
