About Me

My photo
John L. Murphy / "Fionnchú"
Los Angeles, California, United States
Medievalist turned humanities professor; unrepentant but not unskeptical Fenian; overconfident accumulator of books & music; overcurious seeker of trivia, quadrivia, esoterica. Born in Los Angeles but should have been born in my parental Ireland. Eclectic music, reading, ideas-- often Celtic and/or medievally oriented. Tá Gaeilge a chuid feín dom faoi láthair, ach nílim cainteoir líofacht fós! Dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg tipyn nefa'.
