Book Preview:
#1 I was in Dublin in the late 1940s, and I was blown away by the city. I was ravenous for food, life, and stories. I stood in awe of the Gresham Hotel, which was built in 1809 to celebrate the victory of Nelson over Napoleon in the Battle of Trafalgar.
#2 I was proud to be going to the chemist’s shop with such dignity. I was wearing my best clothes, and I was sure that I would meet poets there.
#3 I had to dismount because of the noise and confusion, and I remember the three unanswered letters from my mother and the orange papier-mâché bowl with bills and Mass cards.
#4 Dublin was full of stories, some funny and spry, and sometimes gruesome. There were the old codgers at street corners dying for talk, reeling off the names and nicknames of legendary characters, Zozimus, Johnny Forty-Coats, Paddy Bones Sweeney.
