WRITER AND DOCUMENTARY MAKER JON RONSON COMES TO DUBLIN TO DO ONE OF THE MANY THINGS HE DOES BEST: TALK.
Jon’s previous books — Them: Adventures with Extremists and The Men Who Stare At Goats— looked at the lunacy of the modern world, on US military bases, Jihad training camps, or inside conclaves of powerful men gathered for an annual ritual in a redwood forest. Irrational to most of us, Ronson shows how this can make perfect sense to some people. In his new book, Out of the Ordinary, Jon looks at nuttiness much closer to home — ordinary, domestic insanity. It is predominantly on this subject that he will give this hilarious, thought-provoking lecture. Guided by an unerring eye for human frailty, the evening will feature clips from his documentaries, including Secret Rulers of the World and Tottenham Ayatollah, and touch on all his past work as well his current book.
