It’s that time of the year, and my first time to have a horse in the race, so I’m delighted to be included in a couple of fine lists: Sinéad Crowley (RTE Arts and Media correspondent), includes Generation in her Top Ten Books of 2015 (where, it has to be said, it looks mighty stylish beside Anne Enright’s The Green Road). And over in Books Ireland, it’s one of Sue Leonard’s pick of books by first-time writers for 2015. Thanks to both for the inclusion.
