Anyone read it??

Yeah read it and being from West Cork, could relate to a lot of it.
Wouldn't say he was the best writer in the world but his family have my sympathy.

First I knew of it that he was even ill.

R.I.P. That was the only book I read of his and I thought it was a brilliant read, very funny.

The Road to McCarthy, was it?

The Road to McCarthy, was it?

That was the book after McCarthy's Bar.

Jeez! Didn;t even know he was ill! Loved that book-reminded me of Cork when reading it-many a laugh and familiar town he'd been to.
Highly recommend the book to anyone from Ireland. Great author, RIP...
