 | Irish Wit by Sean McCann
Irish wit is an art form, centuries old yet up-to-the-minute wise, insulting, obscure, profound and idiotic. For years the Irish have mixed wit with wisdom -- as they have porter with whiskey -- and to the same intoxicating effect! In this book, Sean McCann has succeeded in distilling the essence of Irish wit -- on love, religion, the hard stuff , the English -- with a generous mix from Behan, Yeats, Swift, Moore, O`Casey, but above all from yer man , the leading authority on everything that grows, breeds, breathes, thinks or computes in the land.
