"Irish writers tell stories differently..."
~Edna O'Brien
Happy St. Patrick's Day! In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, Open Road Integrated Media provided this gorgeous, short video, Authors on Ireland, which features several famous authors, Edna O'Brien, Joseph Caldwell, Ken Bruen, and T.J. English. After viewing this, I'm ready to pack my bag for a trip to Ireland!

and your evenings bring peace
May your troubles grow less
as your blessings increase!

I would love to visit the Emerald Isle and hope to read a few Irish short stories too.
ReplyDeleteI imagine myself there, surrounded by beauty, writing or reading away in a little coffee shop. :)
DeleteMy trip to Ireland last Spring Break was the best trip of my life so far! LOVED it and would go back in a heartbeat!
ReplyDeleteIreland's definitely on my "to see" list! Thanks for your comment.
Deletethanks for the mention-I have added a new feature to Irish short story Month this year (march 1 to march 31)- Q and A sessions with Irish writers, 24 online so far and I expect at least 40-the writers range from pretty famous to new writers, several have PhDs, they cover a wide range of topics-I also will before the month is over post over 50 short stories by Irish writers, all award winning authors-

Suko thanks very much for the mention and I hope you can find away to join for the third year-
Nice clip Suko. Ireland is on my must visit list as well. Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated St Patricks day!
ReplyDeleteUp until now my reading of Irish authors has been woefully in inadequate. I really intend to remedy that soon!
What a wonderful tribute, I love that toast. A belated happy St Patrick's Day.
ReplyDeleteThank you Suko. As you know, our cousin just went to Ireland and loved it. I have been planning to revisit James Joyce as a writer, after hearing Philip Roth quote him as one of his influences.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Hope you had a great St. Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteSuch an appropriate post; Hope your Day was special.
ReplyDeleteI read Frank O'Connor's First Confession for Irish Reading Month inspired by Mel. The Irish are indeed fantastic storytellers, and I'd really only known Maeve Binchy and Anne Enbright until a few years ago.
