Trolling the trolls
Acclaimed Irish author John Boyne took a bit of a battering following the publication of his YA novel My Brother’s Name Is Jessica. Critics, many of them on Twitter, called it transphobic and told the author to stay in his lane and write only about his lived experiences.
As a result,, Boyne’s latest novel – his 19th, and 13th for adults – is an elaborate rebuttal of cancel culture and what he appears to view as overly woke nonsense.
