Laura | 258 comments I am Laura. I was brought up in an American-Irish family and have been interested in all things Irish since I was quite young. Just finished the Dubliners by James Joyce for maybe the fourth time. Still brilliant. I am interested in what people's favorite Irish writers are past and present.

Welcome, Laura.

One novel I always recommend is Strumpet City by James Plunkett. It deals with poverty in Ireland, specifically Dublin, during the turn of the last century. I highly recommend this book.
