Green Clovers. Blue Stars and Lucky Horseshoes!
Look here scribblers. There be lessons in this book if you'd pay attention. RULE ONE: If you are a writer who wants to strengthen your dialogue bits, you can't beat the Irish. Go ahead and steal their techniques. If you write romance, you need good dialogue. If you write science fiction, magic realism, systems style or what have you, you need good dialogue. Story was meant to be expressed ...

If you loved Finbar's Hotel, read this one
Actually, if you loved Finbar's Hotel (a set of intertwined stories set in a Dublin hotel in danger of being demolished, with each 'chapter' written by a different unattributed Irish male author), you've probably already read this. If you haven't read either one, it doesn't matter which book you start with; you'll end up reading both of them anyway. Ladies' Night at FH is seven female Irish ...

An experiment that works just fine
What a hoot! Imagine an about-to-be-demolished venerable old Dublin hotel. Imagine hallways with room numbers on the doors. Imagine the interwoven lives of the people spending the night behind those doors. NOW: Imagine that 7 different Irish authors are each assigned a room number and told to write the stories, somehow collaborating so that the stories link loosely together as the characters ...

The Journey Home
Surprising that there's not a review of this book, which was, only a few weeks ago, featured on the cover of the Times Book Review. Deservedly so, in my opinion. Mr. Bolger, of whom I wasn't familiar, can write as well as John Banville, though with less flamboyance. This novel, also published by the University of Texas press, is a gritty look at life in Ireland as seen through the eyes of a young ...

Fascinating, engrossing
Fascinating fictional account of the life and times of the Anglo-Protestant Goold Verschoyle family, whose idyllic life in Donegal becomes shattered by World War I, the Irish revolution and Civil War, as well as long-simmering sibling rivalry and family guilt about its relative wealth amidst poverty. Two of the three brothers turn to Communism while their sister -- the sheltered, romantic Eva -- ...
