The New Dubliners Daniel Zuchowski 1.º edición

"Bawdy and boisterous, it?s an important book by a writer perfectly tuned into the experiences of the new Irish." (The Irish Times) *** "The New Dubliners is an exciting new experiment and a fascinating read." (Dublin Book Festival) *** "The style is fresh and the lives are interesting, often fascinating." (Dublin Review of Books) *** The New Dubliners is about life in the Irish capital as experienced by people from other countries ? life that could be similar to the one you have lived yourself, or completely different, but nonetheless one that is always authentic and, hopefully, never clichéd. It is not about rain or Guinness. Nor is it about whether coffee in Ireland is worse than coffee in Italy, or whether Irish tomatoes are not as big and juicy red as Polish tomatoes. What it is about is love, sex, addiction, successes and failures. It is also about walking along the beach on a sunny day, and about drinking wine on a moonlit roof terrace. It is about life in all its glory and misery, however pretentious this might now make it sound. *** The author of the book, a new Dubliner himself, has lived in Ireland since 2007, and has worked here as a teacher of English, teacher trainer, director of studies, translator, interpreter and writer of educational materials. The book is based not only on his own experiences and observations, but also on those of other new Dubliners that he had met over the years. *** Some extracts from the book can be found here: http://www.literarypublishinghouse.com/#!books/ck0q.
