Synopsis
Alongside its world-famous tradition of great fiction, Ireland has a less well known but thrilling tradition of reportage: journalism, dispatches, and eyewitness accounts. From Elizabeth Bowen to Colm Toibin, from Flann O'Brien to Maeve Binchy, some of Ireland's greatest writers have produced first-rate journalism. And from R.M. Smyllie and Conor Cruise O'Brien to Eamon Dunphy and Olivia O'Leary, Ireland has also produced a remarkable number of journalists who can really write. Now, for the first time, the best of Irish reportage--some of it legendary, some of it unjustly forgotten--is gathered into a single volume. Whether it's Kate O'Brien on the reinterment of W.B. Yeats or Emily O'Reilly on the election to Westminster of Gerry Adams, whether it's Hubert Butler on the Fetherd-on-Sea boycott or Joseph O'Connor at the 1994 World Cup, the pieces in Great Irish Reportage illuminate Irish life in a way that no other form of writing can., Reports and dispatches from Ireland's finest writers: Great Irish Reportage, edited by John Horgan Alongside its world-famous tradition of great fiction, Ireland has a less well known but thrilling tradition of reportage: journalism, dispatches and eyewitness accounts.

- e***e (42)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI needed this item for my granddaughter's birthday on the 23rd of September. One of the music stores I rang said there were none available in Australia so I ordered this through eBay and they responded with this particular item. I was both surprised and very thankful on the great service and speedy delivery. I have yet to see the item when my granddaughter opens the new packaged cardboard box it comes in.
