"The Cross at Pig Hill is a novel of political violence and hopelessness, repressed lust, despair out of the abandoned west of Ireland. Walsh's voice is funny, sly, and self-mocking. His lines of burnished brass ring musical; and his tale of innocence gone wacky remind one of Celine's laughs and tears." -- Mark Jay Mirsky, Editor Fiction

"Definitely a fine talent...dialogue excellent...great sense of place." -- Pat McCabe, author The Butcher Boy.,

The dialogue fairly well gallops along - it happens to be simultaneously funny, poignant, madcap and bitter. It's like a healthy dose of Flann O'Brian. His ability to blend the poetic with the humorous, without lapsing into sentimentality or outright caricature, is a gift that deserves to be noticed.

In his debut novel Reggie Walsh cracks a Shakespeare Code where the defiant Bard makes a stunning defense of the Christian Gaelic tradition as being inextricably tied to the might of England's historical past. Using a Gaelic word to unlock a crucial Latin phrase, the Code in turn reveals the names of the royal family of Lear and establishes the royal prerogative of rule by divine right. It is a masterpiece, an ingenious flow of mesmerizing work play - Shakespeare at his best.
