Historian Diarmuid Ferriter explores a decade of political, social, economic and cultural tumult in his latest book, Ambiguous Republic: Ireland in the 1970s. He talks to John Kelly about the art, music, film, theatre, books produced in those years, from the Boomtown Rats to Brian Friel.

Actress (and Lennon fan) Ger Ryan and critic Patrick Freyne review The John Lennon Letters, a collection of personal letters, postcards, lists and notes written by the Beatle from as early as 1951 until his death in 1980, compiled in a handsome book by Hunter Davies, author of the very first Beatles biography.

Colin Farrell tells John Kelly about Seven Psychopaths, his new film, directed by Martin McDonagh and starring, among others, Sam Rockwell, Tom Waits and Christopher Walken. Nadine O’Regan and Harry Browne review.
