- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5J. P. Donleavy, himself an immigrant to Ireland by way of New York, documents Ireland and its people with his characteristic, ribald humor.With the great changes in social fabric having occurred in the last generation, Donleavy describes a country “going madly modern out of its mind, exposed as it is to the round the clock new social and sexual freedoms broadcast from abroad down out of the skies. Where once only God with his brogue was speaking up there.”He lampoons the changes in Ireland as it transforms from a highly religious agricultural economy to what was known as the Celtic Tiger – while it lasted. Donleavy clearly and humorously describes a country and people he obviously loves and feels a part of.
