About this ebook
Boulevard Wren and Other Stories is the stunning follow-up to the bestselling Gospel According to Blindboy, and a warped mirror held up to the Irish psyche.
Provocative and unsettling, the stories rove through the centuries, from the barren fields of Famine-struck Meath to the chaotic landscape of the near future, where social media has colonised the deepest recesses of the human subconscious. This is a world populated by characters lost and at odds with the demands of contemporary life, for whom the line separating redemption and madness has grown impossibly fine.
Razor-sharp social satire, it is an era-defining work from one of Ireland’s most anarchic satirists and a quietly devastating portrait of a society in disarray.
Blindboy Boatclub
Blindboy Boatclub is Ireland’s foremost satirist and most original comedic voice, and one half of the Rubberbandits. Present in the art and theatre world with their movement ‘Gas C**ntism’, they represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale in 2015 and were the first entertainment act to headline at Shakespeare’s Globe. Hit singles include ‘Horse Outside’ and ‘Spastic Hawk’, and popular television shows include The Rubberbandits’ Guide and The Almost Impossible Gameshow. Blindboy also campaigns in support of a variety of social issues, including male mental health.
