"Bobby Tallis possessed the drainpipe physique,
knee-length mackintosh, and balefully frail demeanour of a poet, or so he
believed...as he pursued a lavishly wayward course...One hand broodingly
ensconced within a pocket, Bobby smoked as he walked."—Irish fiction
writer Colin Barrett, “Anhedonia, Here I Come,” originally printed in
The
New Yorker, April 18, 2016, then reprinted in Homesickness
(2022)
