Anyone who has read Sebastian Faulks will be easily and immediately introduced to great writing. Faulks is one of those gifted writers. The reader knows and feels at an early stage that Faulks is special.
It might be an exaggeration to compare Brendan Hoban with Faulks but reading Hoban one gets away from all the cant, bluff, pious codswallop and nonsense that is currently appearing about priesthood in Ireland today, especially in some religious congregations. There is a clarity, honesty and ease in Hoban's words. It's simply great writing. And true too.
Some time back the then parish priest in Cahersiveen, now Bishop of Cloyne, wrote a letter to 'The Kerryman' about views I expressed about priesthood. I hope the bishop will carefully read Brendan Hoban's article in the current issue of 'The Furrow'.
