About this listen

The debut audiobook from podcaster, musician and Ireland's foremost satirist Blindboy Boatclub.

Small Bones in a Fist is composed of stories drawn from Blindboy's first two published books: The Gospel According to Blindboy and Boulevard Wren and Other Stories.

Curated, narrated and scored by the author, Small Bones in a Fist is a surreal, provocative and darkly funny introduction to one of the most original voices in Irish literature.

The collection includes the story Did You Hear About Erskine Fogarty? which has been adapted for Irish television starring Misfists actor Robert Sheehan.

Blindboy is our day’s answer to Joyce and this is his Dubliners. I hope he gives us a Ulysses someday.

if you know his work, then you don't need to read any reviews at all.
if you don't, it's similar to Blue Jam by Chris Morris or the radio shows of Joe Frank.
he takes the dialect of Limerick as Kevin Barry did with west coast Irish and produced a weirdness Flann O'Brian would be proud of.

but all these influences seem to melt away as soon as you're in there. living it.

anyway, a fine body of work that I've been waiting for, and another in November
so that'll be nice.

exactly what I'd hoped it would be

It is Blindboy the lad is simply brilliant one of the finest Irish writers to date. Hard to pick a favourite story as they were all so good. Such a vivid way of descriptions and some great twists.
