Kevin Myers ‘An Irishman’s Diary’

From the Irish Times column

Kevin Myers

Since the early 1990s Kevin Myers was the mainstay of the Irish Times ‘Irishman’s Diary’ column. ‘Did you see Myers today?’ Often we meant to and didn’t. Often we did and hoped, in vain, that we’d be able to recall it later. Outspoken, whimsical, outrageous, sheerly funny, deadly serious – you never knew what to expect. Sometimes Myers was our jester, sometimes our conscience, sometimes red rag to our bull. This book collects and selects from a decade of the ‘Diary’ to provide, at last, an intriguing taste of Myers.
