today I finished reading Ciaran Carson's stunning novel, "Shamrock Tea" and immediately began reading it again. while looking for something else on Carson, I stumbled across this small piece on him in Guardian about his "writing room" - it's an amazing looking room and one I would love to have to write in myself. Of course, I don't live in Belfast, I'll probably never own (or even rent) a house and will most decidedly never be a writer/poet/scholar of Carson's caliber but all the same, it's a wonderful room...
