Zusammenfassung

Just as Garrison Keillor introduced "Woebegone County" on US radio, so Gerry Anderson creates an almost mythological place out of London Derry. He broadcasts from there every day, and is anything but neutral about his life, his country and his work.

Surviving In Stroke City by Gerry Anderson

Between North and South, Protestant and Catholic, Ireland remains a divided country. Gerry Anderson broadcasts every day out of Londonderry, which once upon a time was called Doire Colmcille, evolving, under the influence of the English, into LondonDerry in the 17th century. On a dark night now, asked about your destination by a shadowy figure, 'Derry' might be the right answer or the wrong answer. 'Stroke City', on the other hand, addresses the issue with wry neutrality. Gerry Anderson is anything but neutral about his life, his country and his work. SURVIVING IN STROKE CITY is a sharp, evocative, often surreal meditation on a world that Anderson makes uniquely his own. Listen to his voice. There's nothing like it.
