Absolutely wonderful television

Last night I stumbled on to a superb television documentary on the Arts Channel - the subject was the towering Irish poet, playwright, novelist Dermot Healy.
Many regard him as the greatest living Irish writer.
The programme was quiet, thoughtful, unhurried with outstanding cinematography and I was enchanted, not an emotion I often get from watching television. My thanks to the Arts Channel and to those responsible for making the programme. Stunning stuff.

  1. Graham,
    I have been raving to everyone about Dermot Healy's latest book: Long Time No See. It is the most stunning book I have read in years. I'll have to find a copy of that documentary.
