Years ago an Irish ex-pat told me about Sean O'Casey. After speaking with him I bought a short collection of O'Casey's plays which included Plough and the Stars. LOVED IT !<br /> If I could add one title to the list it would be Are You Somebody:An Accidental Memoir by a Dublin Woman by the late Nuala O'Faolain. While being a memoir, it could be seen as a "coming of age" story of modern, post-English Ireland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701102306051247517.post-60868841609169066142010-03-20T07:09:49.809-07:002010-03-20T07:09:49.809-07:00Very interesting list.
