POWERFUL AND HAUNTING: In this podcast, Gary Crossey takes you inside Claire Keegan's masterful novella "Small Things Like These," where one man's moral choice challenges generations of institutional abuse in 1980s Ireland. With personal stories and unflinching honesty, Crossey connects Ireland's traumatic past to the uncomfortable silences we maintain in our own communities today. A must-listen exploration of complicity, courage, and the moments that define our humanity.

What would you risk to stand against an entire community's willful blindness? Gary Crossey's passionate analysis of "Small Things Like These" examines how Bill Furlong's simple act of defiance illuminates our own moral responsibilities. Through vivid storytelling and raw emotional insight, Crossey reveals how Keegan's work transcends literature to become a powerful call to action against injustice in our everyday lives.
