Praise for Ben Dillon
“Ben Dillon is a writer who is vastly underappreciated in his own time. He shares stories of everyday, mundane events and finds the brilliance in them. His essays will make you double-over in laugher while also making you question everything you know about everything. A man of immense genius.”
– Ben Dillon on Ben Dillon
“I can’t get enough of his writing. Every time he shares a piece of writing, it makes my day. It’s a travesty his stories are not on any school curriculum. A modern-day Hemingway. “
– Anonymous
“His essays changed my life. I used to be 8 stone overweight, cripplingly pessimistic and unhappy with myself. Now I believe that life is worth living. “
– Also, suspiciously anonymous
“One of Ireland’s most intelligent comic minds delivers stories so blisteringly funny and sharp your fingers might bleed. In language so delicious you can taste it, we’re shown holy and unholy Ireland. “
– Tara Flynn on Blindboy Boatclub, but hinting on Ben Dillon’s work
