Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Its exhausting, being Irish. The constant self-flagellation is enough to put anybody off their breakfast. Why are we so hard on ourselves? Is it the post-colonial overhang following centuries of oppression at the hands of a litany of foreign invaders? Or is it collective guilt for sending Westlife out into the wider world? In Surviving Ireland, acclaimed comedy writer Colm Tobin* takes the reader by the hand for a satirical romp through modern Irish life. As well as providing all the tools youll need to navigate this often tricky little island (except a compass or anything even resembling a fact), the book will take you through some of the countrys fraught history, asking some searing questions in the process: how did we get here, where are we going and who in the name of God is going to pay for it all? Surviving Ireland takes in culture and politics, town and country, food and drink, birth, death and everything in between. Let it be your definitive guide to this strange and bewildering rock, cowering from the cold Atlantic swells. Oh, and its got some funny drawings in it as well. * Not the Booker Prize-nominated author Colm Toibin. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Hard Cover. Condición: Fine. Centennial Edition. First Edition, fourth printing of the Centennial Edition. Hard cover, 16 mo, in printed paper covered boards with stars in gold, titles to the spine in gold. Without dust jacket, as issued. Gold colored end papers with reviews. vii- viv, 93pp. CONDITION: Fine, like new. ISBN 978-0-8112-3004-9. Features a new translation, reminiscence by her son, and introduction by novelist Colm Tóbín. "Clarice Lispector"s final novel, initially published under the name "A hora da estrela" in her native Portuguese in 1977. A powerfully written and unfinished novelette by the Ukrainian transplant to Brazil, novelist and short story writer Clarice Lispector. (1920-1977.) As described by her admiring introductory writer Colm Tóbín, Lispector's unflinching originality was born of an "outsider" self-trained mentality, in which she rarely read, and therefore managed not to imitate others in syntax, style or substance. In this case, her valedictory novel's action takes the reader on a philosophical journey of the narrator, a man, who observes the main character, Macabéa, a simple impoverished, lonely office worker in Rio de Janeiro with little sympathy, sometimes impatience and always with an eye to his own interests. A fortune teller plays an important role in Macabéa's pursuit of a belatedly planned future in this striking piece of modern writing. ISBN 978-0-8112-3004-9. (AMJ). Book. …
