Blindboy Boatclub

    Tento autor, známy ako jedna polovica slávneho umeleckého dua The Rubberbandits, sa preslávil svojimi satirickými a prenikavými pohľadmi na írsku kultúru. Spolu so svojím partnerom vytvorili umelecké hnutie nazvané 'Gas Cuntism', ktoré je opisované ako 'Dada a Fluxus na (hudobný) pohon'. Ich diela, často prezentované pod rúškom anonymity, skúmajú spoločenské otázky s originálnou ostrosťou a provokatívnym humorom. Tento prístup robí ich tvorbu jedinečnou a nezabudnuteľnou.

      Blindboy Boatclub, one half of the Rubberbandits and a leading satirist in Ireland, presents a collection of captivating short stories and visual art. This critically acclaimed debut explores significant themes through imaginative narratives, featuring a van powered by Cork accents, Tipperary's first ISIS recruit, a sexually aggressive banshee, and a fridge heroically dragged through Limerick's streets. The work challenges the complacencies and contradictions of modern Ireland with whip-smart, provocative storytelling infused with dark humor. Critics have praised the collection for its originality and control, with Kevin Barry calling it "mad, wild, hysterical." Russell Brand notes the "warped genius" of the author, who famously wears a plastic bag on his head. Danny Boyle highlights the unique reading experience, describing it as essential, funny, and disturbing. Tara Flynn commends the sharpness and humor of the stories, showcasing a vibrant portrayal of Ireland filled with eccentric characters and emotional depth. The Irish Independent describes the collection as "demented, disheveled, and deeply surreal," while Joe.ie warns it's not for the faint-hearted. Ryan Tubridy assures readers they won't be disappointed, promising unexpected journeys through these pages.
