S3 Bonus Republican Love Triangle: Broderick ‘The Fugitives’ (1962)

Another bonus on another uncensored book. It’s a classic Irish noir, full of rainy weather and angsty sex. I have no idea why it wasn’t banned – it’s full of queer plotlines and transgressive sex – but I try to work it out.

The cover of the Pan edition – quirky, just like the book itself

S2 E8 Queer Ireland: Broderick, ‘The Pilgrimage’ (1961)

Is it a book about a promiscuous wife, a pilgrimage or queer life in 1960s Ireland? Banned for indecency and blasphemy, Broderick’s novel is a multi-layered text.
