Blindboy Boatclub: Look at My Art Instead

Blindboy Boatclub is the Irish bestselling writer of strange and unsettling short story collections; Johnny Marr called his latest, Topographia Hibernica, “one of the best books I have ever read.” On his acclaimed and socially conscious Blindboy Podcast, he speaks candidly about mental health, neurodiversity, and positive masculinity, and takes fascinating deep dives into the history of art and colonialism. Take a trip out of the ordinary with one of the standout voices of 21st century Ireland as he chats with Michael Pedersen about his latest book, Topographia Hibernica, as well as Irish nature, mythology and folklore, and the threat of biodiversity collapse.
