More Almost True Irish Stories

MORE ALMOST TRUE IRISH STORIES

More Almost True Irish Stories is the sequel to Michael Cassidy’s critically acclaimed and widely read book The Long- fellah’s Son: An Almost True Irish Story. The varied settings of these stories reflect Cassidy’s wide travels, beginning in his native Ireland and including the Unites States, Central Amer- ica, the Phillipines and most of the seven seas before finally returning to Ireland.

Although the stories’ protagonists don multiple moni- kers, the reader will recognize the spirit of Cassidy moving through the chapters, mirroring a life often lived at the ex- tremes, outside the fringes of respectable society. The nar- rative of More Almost True Irish Stories is intensely personal, with language that will impact the reader with delight and discomfort.
