If you haven't read this book, do. It's brilliant.

And rightly so - one of the best books I read last year.

I just read “We Don’t Know Ourselves,” by Fintan O’Toole @fotoole -- not just a fascinating window into modern Ireland, but a wonderful way to write history by mixing the national with the personal. If you're looking for your next nonfiction book...

oh yes - brilliant - we were on a panel together at @dalkeybookfest a couple of weeks ago
