Confused sentence edit

The clause "and of course his singles 'Swimming Pool' and 'Ballad of Audrey Dash' and residences at The Bridge Mall Inn and the Mallow Hotel." doesn't seem to belong to the previous sentence yet doesn't stand on its own. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frumpo (talk • contribs) 18:51, 29 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

--- 6 years later I came to this talk section to say pretty much the same: I do not understand that part of the sentence. I did not know s.o. had 'complained' about it already... As for such a long time nobody edited, is there any hope it will be done now? Should I just remove the unclear part (without knowing what it was supposed to tell)?

I've deleted the bit in question. The only sense I could make of it is that McCabe has released music as well as publishing, though I'm pretty sure someone's mixed him up with another Patrick McCabe: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJFdm8lW678).

Quote from Stray Sod Country review edit

Because it's been quoted in this Wikipedia article, this phrase is all over the internet, but I think it comes originally from Faber and Faber's 2010 New Writing from Ireland catalogue (https://www.literatureireland.com/assets/PDFs/0251daf262/ILECatalogue10.pdf), p. 21. Happy to be proved wrong. Per$1$tenceofv1$1on (talk) 23:05, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Per$1$tenceofv1$1onReply
