In January, Timothy O’Grady joined Dion and Joe on the podcast to talk about Say Nothing and what it got wrong.
What stayed in people’s minds was his reading from his novel Monaghan.
With the publication of that novel this summer, Tim returns to Free State to talk about what he has learned about war and killing through years talking to people involved in the Troubles. He explains how it shaped his novel and he talks about the work he’s doing with his friend Stephen Rea on the actor’s memoirs.
