Mary and Padraic Colum - Lives and the Dream: Bringing a singular literary duo back to life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On April 10th, 1925, the day The Great Gatsby was published, F Scott Fitzgerald observed to the literary editor Max Perkins: âIâm sure anyhow that at least two critics Benét & Mary Colum will have heard about the book. Iâd like her to like it â Benétâs opinion is of no value whatsoever.â That Fitzgerald valued more the opinions of the fiercely independent-minded Irish critic over that of her fellow reviewer, William Rose Benét â editor of the influential Saturday Review of Liter

Read excerpt
Alan Titley is the most important prose writer in Irish since MáirtÃn à Cadhain. He is also one of the most inventive, multifaceted, and unclassifiable. In terms of his formal range and linguistic dexterity, Titley has no peers among English-language writers in Ireland (only Kevin Barry comes close) and you have to turn to Italian writer Italo Calvino to find another European author with a comparable curiosity in the boundless possibilities of form and language. Commenting a number of years a
