Interesting perspective… crime writing leads to expediency, the pulp noir novels of the mid 20th century- a perfect example. As for us being different beings agree, but as one ages I find less sharp edges. He’s a fine ✍️ brilliant I’d say. I find his Quirke series very accessible, and in line with my inclinations. Very pensive guy…the “Angel” sentence -how Catholic.
Fascinating writer. Worth reading and re-reading. As Banville or Black.

More biblical than Catholic, I would say... the Bible is big, the church is small.
Good
