Big Audio Dynamite

Those of you who have wondered exactly how dulcet the Grand Vizier’s tones are need wonder no longer. For lo! The Critical Mickster has done us proud, as always, and hoisted an audio interview on his interweb malarkey – scroll down about halfway, and it’s there on the right-hand side. Or just clickety-click on this … It’s been a while since Mick conducted the interview, but if memory serves I’m waffling on about why Ruth ‘Cuddly’ Dudley-Edwards (right) is so cuddly, why Gene Kerrigan is the master of gritty Irish noir, and why everything is so blummin’ wonderful in the wonderful world of Irish crime fiction. Yep, business as usual, then …

  1. Shameless plug: a full interview with Dulcet Dec will feature on The Writing Show on Sunday the 26th of October.

    Warning: in addition to Irish crime fiction, a behind-the-scenes scoop on the Grand Viz's two novels, and the secrets of succeeding in freelance journalism, this writingshow.com interview will mention cupcakes.

  2. Never, I suspect. Over on Detectives Beyond Borders there's a photo of our Declan stealing a bike. He might not come back.

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.
