The Life & Times of a Hypothetical Dead Man
As part of the Dublin Book Festival, Maybury and I have recorded some inserts for tomorrow night’s edition of the abovenamed, in which we talk about our experiences on the UCD Creative Writing MA. You can listen to it on the show’s site. Sources tell me it may also be listened to on a device known as a radio.
While I have your attention: is this the stupidest film poster ever?
Rome is surrounded by mountains. This means that your ears pop on the train in. Which is odd.
Arriving in Rome is a shock after spending time in Venice. The noise from traffic (remember cars?) is loud and constant. Speaking of which: an awful lot of pedestrian crossings don’t have traffic lights at them, because that’s not how Italians roll. You’re expected to just face forward and step out into the stream of cars and mopeds, which will stop only if they can’t see a way to swerve around you. It’s actually a great feeling once you get over the initial misgivings.
