Irish Examiner view: A role in society

John B Keane.

It is exquisite timing that Cork’s Everyman Theatre has chosen a favourite John B Keane novella for its summer offering, with a cute eye on contemporary politics as well.

Letters of a Country Postman, first published in 1993 when pre-internet Ireland was a very different place, tells the story of the characters of the Ballyfee postal district and the exploits of Mocky Fondoo, the local postman.
