Book Description
Excerpt from Meg McIntyres Raffle and Other Stories: And Other Stories Tickets Gents, 50 cents. Ladies, 25 cents. Dancing,8 till 3. Mrs. Mcintyre. The earliest arrivals were three men, more or less mellow on their week's wages. They had gone from their work to Geoghegan's bar-room, where the free lunch was so ample that it was not necessary for them to go home to supper. They were Jerry Sullivan, lean, witty, and garrulous, in or out of his cups; Patsy Moran, an irish-american, educated in the public schools, who piqued himself on his Americanism and his book-learning; and Buck Rafferty, a heavy, broken-nosed, ugly-looking bruiser, with a heart like a little child's, and never more like than when its action was stim ulated by drink. It was about half-past seven when these three appeared. They straight way demanded beer with a bravado that would have done credit to the three musketeers. Mrs. Mcintyre did not propose serving beer until later in the evening, but she filled up a glass apiece, as the easiest way to keep them within bounds, forbidding them to ask for more as she did so.

The Cumulative Book Index
Author: The Irish Voice in America
Author: Charles FanningPublisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813184061
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 700
Book Description
In this study, Charles Fanning has written the first general account of the origins and development of a literary tradition among American writers of Irish birth or background who have explored the Irish immigrant or ethnic experience in works of fiction. The result is a portrait of the evolving fictional self-consciousness of an immigrant group over a span of 250 years. Fanning traces the roots of Irish-American writing back to the eighteenth century and carries it forward through the traumatic years of the Famine to the present time with an intensely productive period in the twentieth century beginning with James T. Farrell. Later writers treated in depth include Edwin O'Connor, Elizabeth Cullinan, Maureen Howard, and William Kennedy. Along the way he places in the historical record many all but forgotten writers, including the prolific Mary Ann Sadlier. The Irish Voice in America is not only a highly readable contribution to American literary history but also a valuable reference to many writers and their works. For this second edition, Fanning has added a chapter that covers the fiction of the past decade. He argues that contemporary writers continue to draw on Ireland as a source and are important chroniclers of the modern American experience.
