“It came out without any grand schemes” – An interview with Ronan Hession, author of Leonard & Hungry Paul

More often than not, when people start raving about a book, we approach it with bemused chagrin. You have to understand. We don’t like standing outside the restaurant window in the rain. We want to belong, really. But more often than not, when we read books that people get all excited about, we’re all “Seriously? This is what you’re excited about? This?” But then when a book comes along that people seem to like that we like too, well, we get all giddy. Leonard & Hungry Paul is one such book. To paraphrase the Jim Carrey in Dumb & Dumber: we liked it a lot. So, like an economy stalker, we approached those nice people at Bluemoose Books (publishers of Ben Myers, among others) and they put us in touch with Ronan.
