“Skilfully written . . . This is a powerful, poignant account of deep dissociation” — Sue Leonard, The Irish Examiner

“The prose is lucid and economical, even when the emotional terrain is anything but . . . Pure Innocent Boy is a lived-in, honest work that manages to capture the texture of small-town Ireland and the pain of innocence lost. It’s understated, funny, and deeply poignant.”— Ruby Eastwood, Books Ireland

“Brilliant, funny, and moving.”

Sebastian Whale, author of The Usual Channels
