Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Dunne identifies four stages of the Irish-American experience: immigrant, outcast, assimilated, deracinated. By the end of what PW termed "this mordant, defiant, raunchy, sarcastic memoir--a mix of self-revelation, travel sketches, ruminations," Dunne is proudly searching for his great-grandfather's identity in the parish records of an Irish village.
