The Truth About the Irish
About this book
"A fine, fast and very funny meditation" from the notable British intellectual ( Washington Post).
If you're looking for a field guide to leprechauns, T he Truth About the Irish is not the book for you. But if you can handle a frank and funny look into the minds and hearts of Irish people, you've been touched by that fabled Irish luck.
Covering all things Irish from Blarney to Yeats, renowned literary and cultural critic Terry Eagleton separates the myths from the reality with his priceless blend of sidesplitting humor, caustic commentary, and the honest lowdown on the beloved and bewildering country of Ireland.
"Terry Eagleton delves into what makes the Irish people tick, dispensing with nonsense about leprechauns, shamrocks and drunkeness to explore the truth behind the Irish psyche." — New York Post
"Eagleton's very cheeky look at the Irish tickles as it informs." — Publishers Weekly
