This week sees the re-publication of Lee Dunne's novel Paddy Maguire Is Dead which, in one of many outrageous acts visited on our writers, was banned for alleged obscenity by the Irish government in 1972. Jackie Hayden called in on an author who writes because he can't not write.

Paddy Maguire Is Dead by Lee Dunne, with a new introduction by John Broderick, is published by Killynon House.
