Dublin Writers Festival – The Jekyll and Hyde Inheritance

I'll be in distinguished company at at The Dublin Writers' Festival this Monday where I'll be joining John Burnside, Donnie O'Rourke, Richard Holloway and Kevin MacNeil. We've all been invited to respond to Robert Louis Stevenson's concept of 'dual nature' which he explored so brilliantly in The Strange case of Dr Jeykll and Mr Hyde. Join us, if you can, at 7.30pm on the 23rd at the Samuel Bec

Quotes by Louise Welsh (?)

“It's always struck me as funny that guys with scars get a reputation for being hard. It's the ones that cut them you should be looking out for, right?”
― Louise Welsh, Naming the Bones

“People have died for love, they have lied and cheated and parted from those who loved them in turn. Love has slammed doors on fortunes, made bad man from heroes and heroes from libertines. Love has corrupted, cured, depraved and perverted. It is the remedy, the melody, the poison and the pain. The appetite, the antidote, the fever and the flavour. Love Kills. Love Cures. Love is a bloody menace. Oh, but it's fun while it lasts.”
― Louise Welsh, The Cutting Room
