Welcome back to What the Hell/Heaven Are We Doing?, the series where the Laureate for Irish Fiction, Sebastian Barry, asks big questions of fellow writers about the nature of their shared craft. What is the purpose of writing? Find out what author Tom Kilroy thinks in this episode. Thomas Kilroy was born in Callan, Co Kilkenny in 1934. He served as play editor at the Abbey in 1977 and was appointed Director of Field Day Theatre Company in 1988. Kilroy was Professor of English at UCG and has published a number of academic essays and studies. In 1989, he resigned his professorship, to concentrate fully on writing.

Postmortem images can cause quite a stir and for some it's a fascination due to the disturbing subject. These photographs chronicle a family loss in a graphic manner. Often taken as a last attempt to capture an image of a loved one. There were photographers that specialized in the medium making the deceased as life-like as possible. These types of images were particularly popular during the Victorian period. Now imagine one of those photographers as a central character in a television series set in 1880s Dublin. I've watched the series Dead Still on Acorn TV.  Over six episodes the characters –a postmortem photographer, his assistant and niece as well as a police detective (interested in photos of crime scenes) track down a mysterious and gruesome photo album. There are plenty of adventures and misdirections. Viewer beware. There is one episode not suitable for younger viewers. I liked it enough to hope  for a second season. I had to find out the why and how of the show. What inspired the screenwriter to pick this topic for his script. For that I reached out to John Morton, one of the creators of the show. Related Episodes:Episode 61: Mourning Jewelry: Fact or FictionLinks:Dead Still on Acorn TVDead or Alive: Mourning, Memorials, Spirit Photos and the Un-DeadSign up for my newsletter.Watch my YouTube Channel.Like the Photo Detective Facebook Page so you get notified of my Facebook Live videos.Need help organizing your photos?
