Irish American Fiction from World War II to JFK addresses the
concerns of Irish America in the post-war era by studying its
fiction and the authors who brought the communities of their youth
to life on the page. With few exceptions, the novels studied here
are lesser-known works, with little written about them to date.
Mining these tremendous resources for the details of Irish American
life, this book looks back to the beginning of the twentieth
century, when the authors' immigrant grandparents were central to
their communities. It also points forward to the twenty-first
century, as the concerns these authors had for the future of Irish
America have become a legacy we must grapple with in the present.
