In his first novel Holding the Cork native has made his lead character an overweight, unattractive detective because he feels that best represents him.
“In my head, that’s who I should be. Not a detective, but fat,” he told the Belfast Telegraph.
“When you talk to people about food, you think, ‘Wow! You’re just as crazy as I am’.
“In my head, I’m fat, and in reality, I would be if I didn’t go to the gym and ate what I wanted to.
“I don’t know if I’d be Channel 5 documentary size, but I would be large.”

Graham also admitted that when he was growing up in Ireland there wasn’t much food and people take that for granted these days.
“If you were living back in the day, you worked hard to get the food and all the food you got, you ate, because you needed that energy.
“Today, we are on running machines, running nowhere to burn off calories we clearly didn’t need,” he added.
“Everyone in modern society has a pretty odd relationship with food.”
