JK Rowling's praise for Roddy Doyle

Nice to see Harry Potter's creator, JK Rowling heap praise on Dublin author Roddy Doyle. She describes him - on Oprah Winfrey's website - as a 'genius' for writing, as a heterosexual man so convincingly in the persona of a woman. She is referring to his novel on the theme of wife beating, The Woman who Walked into Doors. One of his few books I haven't read: must rectify that.
