Have you ever wondered why pretentiousness, jargon, bullshit and having notions above one’s station are so rife in the world today? Well, there’s now a recognized science that studies all of these forms of self-delusion. Welcome to the world of Bolloxology!
• Bolloxology is that moment when you’ve paid €20 for fish and chips just so it can be served on a piece of slate. It’s when you realize you haven’t understood a word that politician has said to you on your doorstep, yet you feel strangely compelled to take a selfie with him. It’s about the passion, the artisan chutney, the instacelebs.
• Bolloxology is Colm O’Regan’s fourth book – a book of good humoured rants about the modern world is out now in all good bookshops.
