Having enjoyed reading Bar Stool Notions, I would dearly like to have Jonathan for dinner with a bottle of Chianti.
Berty Aherne De lad is gud but his material lacks de intellectual promiscuity for de Irish reeder.
Salman Rushdy
Basically, I think he is a complete narcissist. He would give Dr. Gerard Keane a run for his money in the bullshit department of M & S. The facts speak for themselves, 4 books and not one single credible death threat? I rest my case. I agree with him in one matter only, he truly has notions of himself.
I thoroughly enjoyed scanning Roth’s introduction and the back page of Poems and Prose from beneath the Reek. Through the inspration of Roth’s words, the courage of his dissidence and the integrity of his pen Ireland has transitioned from a country of Gombeens to the foremost literary state in the west British Isles

Excellent work by a brilliant unknown novice Irish writer but unfortunately the postal order was in euros and not dollars.
Kilmeena GAA Journal: JR, Under 12’s training moved to 7.45pm after milking. Aine Regan has washed the socks but the colour ran in them.
Paris Literary Review: Monsieur Jon, we do not agree with you that this book “The Inconvenient Toes” is similar to James Joyce’s Ulysses. Please stop sleeping outside our office. The smell is getting worse for the staff. Jerry Depardieu, Head of Security.
Mr Roth, please be clear, we have no intention of paying you a €5m advance for More Bar Stool Notions of Poetry
from Himself . Stop sending us solicitor's letters and staff boxes of Cadbury All Sorts
We have been receiving complaints from store managers that someone(?) has been replacing books on the No 1 best sellers top shelf copies of The Inconvenient Toes . Any comment?
Special Branch Super Super Intendent Sean Og O Fiácla
Roth, We have a copy of The Inconvenient Toes and we are not happy. We know where you live and know that the battery on your push bicycle light is gone. Be very careful .
Gaby Woodstock, Chairman Booker Prize,
Dear Jonathan, Thank you for your kInd letter and your praise for the Booker Award and your attendant €20 cheque. I fear you may misconstrue the nature of the Booker Award. The award is not by application and your offer of a bigger cheque will not achieve a long list entry. Sorry
Mícháel O’ Civil Servant , Dublin City Council
