The personals

O'Connell, Brian, 1975 or 1976-2019
Books
Some people do Sudoku, others watch Netflix. Brian O'Connell trawls the classified ads, both online and what remains in print. This fascinating collection of stories shows how classified ads can help unlock a door into Irish society, and brings us extraordinary experiences from ordinary people. Why is a woman in rural Ireland selling high-tech eavesdropping equipment? Did someone really sell a pet monkey in the Evening Echo newspaper in Cork? Why was a wedding dress for sale 'never worn'?
