This Week:

Michael F Kennedy is a man with an extraordinary story, one that saw him go from enduring his young life in an industrial school from the age of 2 to the theatres and opera houses of Europe. The early part of this journey is captured soulfully in "990", which tells the story of Michael's early years spent in the cold surroundings of Ferryhouse, and is the first in a series of autobiographical novels.

In this episode, Michael and I chat about "990" (his conviction order number at the age of 2), and about what kept him going, discovering that he had a family, having believed he was alone in the world, and his philosophy for living, amongst other things, (with a nod to Epictetus). "990" will be launched on Thursday 14th November at 7 pm at South Tipperary Arts Centre, and all are welcome to attend.
