The sago story is very strange. I read it in a university archive collection of his lesser/unpublished works and it has heroin and a joiner who accidentally walls himself inside a panelled room. And of course sago, a purported cure for Irish famine.

Sad end for a great writer. I'd pay a courtesy caul if I could. That's my bus!


We will not see his likes again.
