I’ve seen the film by Neasa Ní Cheanáin, Fairytale of Kathmandu, on the gay poet Cathal Ó Searcaigh, and I’m writing a piece for Hot Press about it, which will be published next week. (It’s now on my blog here.) I’m very angry at the way he has been treated. This is just a quick post to say “watch this space”, and for those who are interested in the very complex issues the film raises, follow these bookmarks. I will be keeping track of the story as it grimly unfolds.

Update, February 2009: I finally get to meet and interview him for Hot Press, in his first extended English-language interview. It was published  Thursday, 12th February, 2009. More here.
