Who We Are: A Collection of Essays on Life

Who We Are will take you on a journey across the literary landscape of Ireland in the company of our most celebrated novelists, journalists, academics, philosophers and poets. It confronts and delves into all those areas that engage and define us: our complex relationship with the Church, our short-lived love affair with the Celtic Tiger, the importance of family, the power of politics, our love of the land, the magnetic pull of our sporting heroes.

At times angry, at times humorous, poignant, reflective and heart-warming, these essays are always compelling, thought-provoking and shot through with a searing honesty.

A snapshot in time, this remarkable and beautifully-written collection from Ireland’s finest writers captures the very essence of who we are.
