The Lockdown Papers
SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ESSAYS
By John Dillon
During the long days of lockdown, author and academic John Dillon took time to go through and his old papers and essays. The resulting tome is a splendid miscellany of satire, reflection and analysis of Irish life over five decades, as originally published in Irish newspaper columns.
