The Curious Mind by John Quinn
John Quinn presents a comprehensive selection of entertaining, thought-provoking and insightful programmes taken from many of his RTE radio series, spanning a twenty-five-year period. Writers, philosophers, entertainers, educationists, activists, politicians, business people, John has interviewed some of the most interesting personalities. Seamus Heaney, Spike Milligan, Maeve Binchy, Peter Ustinov, Bernadette Greevy and many, many others have offered up personal anecdotes in conversation with John, with a plethora of topics ranging from childhood, to education, to economics, to place and landscape. Also included are excerpts from a number of documentaries on topics ranging from Eskimoes to All-Ireland Final Day. Every short essay a perfect story in itself, this surely is a gem of a book.
