  • Jude: Level 1
    Jude: Level 1
    by Julian Gough

    My new novel. It starts with the award-winning, BBC broadcast prologue, "The Orphan and the Mob", and continues with Jude's quest for True Love in Tipperary, Galway, the Aran Islands, and Dublin... Love, death, arson, philosophy, and sex. Starring Jude, an orphan who looks the spit of Leonardo DiCaprio. Except for having two penises. Which makes True Love... complicated.

  • Juno and Juliet
    Juno and Juliet
    by Julian Gough

    My first novel, of which I am very fond. The adventures of teenage twin sisters Juno & Juliet, in their first year away from home. Life, love and literature, in Galway and Tipperary.

Dig the Shoes

julian sitting on dubrovnik.jpg 

The really rather terrifically wonderful Susie Maguire just sent me a nice picture of me sitting down in Dubrovnik. I won't explain what the heck I am doing, or why I appear to have a tinted monocle.

 

A chap needs to maintain an air of mystery.

 

My shoes are definitely the stars of this photo. They look like they're celebrating getting their own TV series.

Julian Gough has presented his genious mind through this marvelous photo of himself.

How you doing? I know it's been a long time, I'm having the roughest time so even finding the time to write such a little comment for me is almost immposible.

Don't worry I still get in this blog and enjoy every little moment, I really liked the Pig Kidnaping post, he had it coming the bastard :P

Hope you're doing fine, and i think you do. Haven't read yet the books you recommended me, shame of me, just didn't find the time, emotionaly and phisicaly.

Hey Julian, thanks - as I took the pic I thought you looked like an alchemist transported into another century. And look at all those writers' legs encroaching upon you, like Birnam wood....

Ariel, things sound tough.You're not doing time in the IDF are you? Whatever's going on now, it'll get better. Life is cyclical: We're tied to Fortune's wheel, and she drags us down into the shit, then just when we're about to despair, she hauls us back up into the sky and it's all daylight and birdsong and butterflies and nice things. For a while. Just hang on tight, she'll bring you back up.

Susie, thanks again for the photo. And I love being described as an alchemist transported into another century. How did you find out, I haven't told anyone...

Julian, I think it's something to do with your little red suitcase, which you kept with you at all times, as an alchemist would if he knew how to turn suitcases into time machines.
