All Over Ireland, edited by Deirdre Madden ( Molly Fox's Birthday, Time Present and Time Past ), continues the tradition of featuring the work of both new and established writers, including Colm T ib n, Mary Morrissy and Eoin McNamee. These diverse and accomplished stories, by turns dazzling, thoughtful and startling, bring new ideas and energy to the form and richly enhance the tradition of Irish fiction.
Ireland is no stranger to being home to literary legends, which may partly explain why it's referred to as "The Land of Saints and Scholars." With St. Patrick's Day quickly approaching, what better time to honor these literary legends and highlight some of the best Irish authors?
