We chat to award-winning writer and essayist Mark O’Connell about the book he thinks everyone should read: The Adversary by Emmanuel Carreré. A chilling true-crime story about notorious murderer Jean-Claude Romand, The Adversary served as inspiration for O’Connell in writing his most recent work, the critically acclaimed A Thread of Violence. Join Mark, Rachel and Áine for a chat about true crime, the nature of evil and the stories we tell ourselves. It’s more craic than it sounds.
