The fictional details

According to the fictional articles, Quigley was born in Dublin and educated at Trinity College Dublin. A controversial figure, he has always been regarded as a maverick in literary circles and has often found himself involved in feuds with fellow writers. Now resident in Wicklow, he occasionally writes newspaper columns and is currently finishing a grand narrative poem entitled Poisoning our Own Wells.
