This week, writer Eoin Colfer joined Jarlath for a rare and in-depth conversation about his life and work.
Going full Leprechaun to get Artemis Fowl onto the desk of an agent in London (37:00), how writers like him are comfortable in isolation (4:00) and the time he tried to write a storyboard while Bono sang at him (52:00) - this episode covers a lot of ground.
From why he had a genuine fear of being executed during his time in Saudi Arabia (29:00) to the shocking turn of events which saved the day at one of his book signings (1:02:00) and how he joined an internet group set up to stop him from writing The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (56:00) and much more, this conversation with a true gent and legend of Irish literature might be just what you need this week.
To hear Eoin's terrifying parachute jump story, the hilarious tale of the time he fell out the back of a van as a child, his thoughts on the challenge of writing for adults versus children, the mysterious theft of his very own Don Johnson jacket from the set of Miami Vice and much more, become a patron of An Irishman Abroad for just the price of a pint on www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad.
