Praise for The Gospel According to Blindboy

‘Mad, wild, hysterical, and all completely under the writer’s control – this is a brilliant debut.’

KEVIN BARRY

‘There is genius in this book, warped genius. Like you’d expect from a man who for his day job wears a plastic bag on his head but something beyond that too. Oddly in keeping with the tradition of great Irish writers.’

RUSSELL BRAND

‘One of Ireland’s finest and most intelligent comic minds delivers stories so blisteringly funny and sharp your fingers might bleed. In language so delicious you can taste it, we’re shown holy and unholy Ireland: a land of lock-ins, nettle stings, stone-mad Cork birds, gas cunts and Guiney’s jeans. No one is safe – we all have the unmerciful piss ripped out of us and there’s no escape from the emotional gut punches, expertly dealt.’

TARA FLYNN

‘If you’ve ever witnessed (there’s no other word for it) a Rubberbandits video you’ll be anxious (there’s no other word for it) to read this collection of short stories from one of the originators. I hesitate to use the word author as the experience is as close to reading a traditional short story as being burnt by a blow torch. Essential, funny and disturbing.’
