Yes, indeed.

‘I knew immediately that I wanted to write about tenderness: what it was for me, how it has affected my life, and how I might inhabit it as best I can for the remainder of my life.’ thelonelycrowd.org/2025/04/12/k...

‘Some of the action of ‘Mature People’ takes place in Trinity College Dublin – so there’s also a sly echo of Sally Rooney’s Normal People in the title. However, this is Normal People for oldies.’ thelonelycrowd.org/2025/04/13/a...

Listen to Jackie Gorman read from Issue 14… thelonelycrowd.org/2025/05/09/r...
