Alex Hijman
This Saturday's Irish Times gave an excellent review to Alex Hijman's book Favela which is published by Cois Life. http://coislife.ie/Authors/CLauthors/alexh2.htm
Alex now lives in Brazil but for many years lived in Galway where, among other things, he was proprietor of the Bananaphoblacht café on Dominick Street. Alex was a Featured Reader for us at one of our early Open Readings in Galway City Library in Spring 2004.
