Product information "Whiskey for all - Irish short stories - John B. Keane"
John B. Keane (1928-2002) was (and is!) One of the most popular Irish writers.
Several of his works were filmed.
John B. Keane, a literary legend in Ireland, spent years together with his wife Mary a pub in Listowel, County Kerry. People from the area met there after work, and the landlord often involuntarily became the confessor of the various idiosyncratic types.
We meet many of them in Keanes humorous, bizarre stories with a lot of heart.
Sláinte! Bottom up!
An Irishman from America who hopes to finally find the woman intended for him in Ireland; a shopkeeper, who waits until the ripe old age at the river under the maple tree for the woman of his dreams; a little girl who completely changed the life of a postman: lovable nerds on bridal show; Spouses who love each other, sometimes hate and yet master everyday life together; weird, hard-working and extremely hard-drinking peasants - of whom John B. Keane tells in his cheerful, loveable and contemplative, definitely very Irish stories.
"How to read legends and yet so wonderfully realistic." Ostthüringer Zeitung
249 pages, paperback
Format: 19cm x 11.5cm

Die Geschichten sind kurzweilig und heiter erzählt und so skurril, dass man manchmal gar nicht glauben kann, ob sie nicht nur der Phantasie des Schreibers entsprungen sind.
Für Irland-Fans und alle, die gern lesen ein, eine Empfehlung - als Geschenk oder für die eigene Bibliothek. Kurzweilig offenbart sich die irische Seele.
