has anyone who's familiar with contemporary Ireland read Ken Bruen's Jack Taylor series of crime novels? Taylor is highly critical of the "new Ireland" with its condoization of Galway, etc., while being very sympathetic to the new ethnic groups moving into Ireland from the rest of Europe. Of course, he's a total drunk, worse even than Lawrence Block's Matt Scudder. (Guinness is not good for him.) Even if it's not an accurate portrayal of Ireland, the series is excellent... -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
