starting this book by insulting ireland beyond belief is a really fascinating way to start.
“the word irish is seldom coupled with the word civilization.”
“ireland, a little island at the edge of europe that has known neither renaissance nor enlightenment — in some ways, a third world county with, as john betjeman claimed, a stone age culture — had one moment of unblemished glory.”
ummmmmm
