Riders to The Sea....

An anecdote from this year's Listowel Writers' Week arrived by email yesterday to cheer up (albeit guiltily) a rainy day:

"This year they ran the Listowel Races at the same time as the Writers Festival. Literally. X swears that while John Banville read, it was slightly distracting that a horse in one of the races threw his jockey, crashed into a barricade and died! Apparently John didn’t (doesn’t?) know it was going on behind him.


The Untouchable, indeed...
