It is a tremendous honour to have my debut novel Leonard and Hungry Paul selected by Dublin City Council as this year's One Dublin One Book. As a writer, it feels like I am being claimed by my home city. It also means that for the first time I have had to think about the book in terms of its, and my, relationship with Dublin. Having lived in Dublin for 45 years, I have always taken my identification with the city somewhat for granted. I’m a bit like a fish that has no concept of wetness, having always lived under water.
