Denis O'Brien

Denis O'Brien divides his time between Scotland - where he conducts an amicable relationship with alcohol; and Greece - where he is learning financial management and fiscal probity. Absorbed by his conviction that much in the world is either opaque or not what it seems, he's pretty sure that even if it were otherwise he still wouldn't understand it. Consequently he finds himself alternately subscribing to Irwin Edman's observation that 'education is the process of casting false pearls before real swine;' and Albert Camus' that 'the evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance.' These competing reflections lead him nowhere - a location he has discovered to be congenial.
