Booker Prize-winning author John Banville takes us through Dublin and explains that while he isn't that concerned with plot or story, his pseudonym Benjamin Black is. Here he talks about Quirke, the mildly alcoholic pathologist at the center of Christine Falls and The Silver Swan.

Hah! Benjamin Black is a pen name of John Banville. His Irish dialect is too strong for me to understand everything he is saying on this tape. Does he disclose that Black is Banville?

I've never read the Benjamin Black books, but I bet they're good as Banville is an excellent writer.
