- Book Synopsis
-
Dear Gay was an instant bestseller when it was published in 2023.
PS Gay brings readers more letters and memories from the listeners of Ireland's most iconic radio show.
PS Gay reflects the very fabric of our society from the lighter watercooler moments that had us all talking, to personal stories that stopped us in our tracks.
Remember the uproar over Dick's affair in Glenroe and the nationwide protest about the decision by Switzer's department store to remove the Christmas gnomes from the window.
There are accounts of the devastating impact of the AIDS crisis, the divorce referendum and heartbreaking experiences of abortion.
Most importantly, there are the stories of the lives of everyday superwomen who wrote into the show to share their experiences, Gay Byrne acting as ringmaster skilfully capturing what mattered to them.
Nostalgic for times that seemed simpler than they are today, and a reminder of how far we have come.
Ideal for readers who:
- Enjoy Irish non-fiction shaped by real voices, memories and shared cultural moments.
- Are drawn to letter collections that move from comic recollection to unexpectedly moving confession.
- Would welcome a portrait of Ireland told through radio, listeners and the stories people carry.
- Prefer warm, browseable reading that feels nostalgic, companionable and full of feeling.
