Dirty Old Town

London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe

August 24, 2026 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

After reading Say Nothing, his account of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, Patrick Radden Keefe entered the vaunted "I will read anything this man puts out" territory for me.

I Haunt it That Way by Isabelle Popp

August 24, 2026 by Emmalita Leave a Comment
