| 520 | _aColm Tóibín begins with a walk through the Dublin streets where he went to university and where three Irish literary giants also came of age: Wilde, Yeats, and Joyce. Illuminates not only the complex relationships between three of the greatest writers in the English language and their fathers, but also illustrates the surprising ways these men surface in their work. Through these stories of fathers and sons, Tóibín recounts the resistance to English cultural domination, the birth of modern Irish cultural identity, and the extraordinary contributions of these complex and masterful authors. | ||
