SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE - Jay McInerney
I had the surreal experience of talking to Jay McInerney on the streets of New York on a balmy evening last June, while he held my book which had been presented to him by The F. Scott Fitzgerald Society!

"America is so vast that almost everything said about it is likely to be true, and the opposite is probably equally true."

"Think about Heathcliff who was brought from Liverpool and speaks a sort of gibberish. The description of Heathcliff conforms almost exactly to the caricatures of the Irish."

Positive review of ‘The Red Branch’ in @IrishTimes. Thanks to Brian Cliff and Elizabeth Mannion, especially for ‘abundant noir cynicism’. I feel even closer to my hero Raymond Chandler.

"Fitzgerald’s hang-ups on account of his Irishness have been recently discussed by Patrick O’Sullivan Greene in a highly readable book ... a kind of private shame that has enabled him to make Gatsby so convincing a character."

Hemingway once called F. Scott Fitzgerald ‘fragile Irish instead of tough Irish.’
Part of their frenemy relationship is explained in a story of a friendly boxing match in Paris told by @CameronHill18 from @offtheball to @PatKennyNT.

The RDS Library & Archives are delighted partner with the Dublin Book Festival at 1.00 pm on Sunday 9 November 2025 for Great Irish Voices, a talk that explores two books illuminating great voices from Irish American history.
Gratefully and Affectionately: Mary Lavin and The New Yorker by Gráinne Hurley provide fascinating insights into Lavin’s 18-year working relationship with the publication. This includes her working relationship with its chief editor through the letters they wrote to each other.
Gatsby: Death of an Irishman by Patrick O’Sullivan Greene delivers a new, compelling insight into the life of F. Scott Fitzgerald, exploring his complex, evolving and surprising relationship with his Irish heritage.
The authors will be in conversation with journalist and author Ronan McGreevy.

In October 1914 the 2nd battalion of the Royal Irish Regiment (mostly recruited from the counties of Tipperary, Waterford, Wexford and Kilkenny) fought at the Battle of Le Pilly. Of the 900 men who partook in the battle just 135 escaped the battle, 177 were killed and the rest wounded or taken prisoner. Since rediscovering the battle 12 years ago, the residents of Herlies outside Lille, have erected a memorial and host an annual commemoration with the children of the Simone Veile national school singing It's a long way to Tipperary.

Delighted to spend time with these guys today who have done more to popularise history than anybody in my lifetime.
Two episodes recorded: the assassination of Sir Henry Wilson; the siege of the Four Courts; the death of Michael Collins; the burning of the great houses; partition; the legacy of the civil war.
Coming to @TheRestHistory soon!
Massive thanks to @RMcGreevy1301

Honoured to launch @POSG latest book: Gatsby: Death of an Irishman about F Scott Fitzgerald. The book is terrific and timely given that this month marks the centenary of the launch of The Great Gatsby. Scott Fitzgerald had an ambivalent approach to his Irish heritage, but was emotionally invested in all that went on in Ireland in the early 1920s. Fascinating book which I'd highly recommend. @FScottFitgeraId @wordwellbooks

I took this picture of the statue of a young F. Scott Fitzgerald, just off Summit Avenue in St. Paul, MN, last September. It has been stolen!
