<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Irish writing is currently enjoying a renaissance. Strange, original talents are blossoming, wielding styles and perspectives as variant as the inspirations they bring to bear on their work. [This book] seeks to situate this recent flowering within the centuries-long efforts of Irish writers to experiment and to innovate, to make the form of the novel new and strange again"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>The Other Irish Tradition</i> is a colorful anthology celebrating the experimental strain in Irish literature, from Laurence Sterne and Jonathan Swift to the bleeding-edge of contemporary writing.</b> It juxtaposes work from such heralded masters as Joyce, Beckett, and Flann O'Brien with startling and innovative work from young contemporary writers such as Mike McCormack, June Caldwell, Anakana Schofield, and Kevin Breathnach. The anthology presents an intoxicating mixture of Irish writing at its most playful and transgressive, from colossal authors to lesser-known but fascinating ones, offering fresh perspectives and a provocative reshuffling of the literary canon.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Rob Doyle] is a tremendous talent. Every page fizzes with vitality."--Kevin Barry<br><br>"I'm tempted to quote Nietzsche back at Rob Doyle: he's not a writer--he is dynamite! Except--like Nietzsche--he's a tremendous writer, too. And I have a suspicion that the author of this provocative and thrilling collection is going to get even better."--Geoff Dyer<br>
