Cork-based writer David Mitchell talks to Richard Fitzpatrick about autism, the influence of his folk-star namesake, and helping out with the local Tidy Towns.

The album that made David Mitchell take a look at the world from a different angle was Joni Mitchell’s Blue. He got it in 1987. He was about to leave school — and his hometown in Worcestershire — for university.
