Product Description
Journalist with the Sunday Independent, radio presenter with KCLR, and Late Late Show producer during his time with RTE, John Masterson, has written a beautifully honest and heart-rending story of teenage love and duplicity, and how the events of one summer have thrown a shadow across his life. Having studied, and then taught, psychology at Trinity College Dublin he turns his gaze on himself with satisfying results.
The Column I Never Wrote is one of the most candid and genuine stories you will ever read. This examination of one person’s past offers important and life-changing lessons for all of us.
I love the way the story circles back on itself to interrogate the whole nature of memory. I also love how much the story has to say about a vanished time in Irish life. It wasn’t very long ago but it’s a different world, and this really brings that home.

I have read this book in one sitting… it’s addictive and not a difficult ask of anyone to do that. It’s incredibly moving and I really believe it will help people to address and understand their own demons and the impact of holding on to life secrets. All told within the social and cultural context of times past and scattered with memories (real or stolen) that certainly resonate with me. An incredibly moving, open and honest depiction of a journey of vulnerability, confusion and ultimate resolution.
