In the summer of 2000 a young Irish journalist returned from New
York to launch a magazine about life in boomtown Dublin. The
Dubliner was an instant failure, and within a few months it was
close to bankruptcy. For the next seven years Trevor White
struggled to keep the magazine afloat. Along the way he managed to
alienate nearly everyone in Ireland. The Dubliner Diaries is an
awkward history of the Celtic Tiger by a man who tried to capture
it, and ended up being mauled.

Ethan Muller is struggling to establish his reputation as a dealer
in the cut-throat world of contemporary art when he is alerted to a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: in a decaying New York slum, an
elderly tenant has disappeared, leaving behind a staggeringly large
trove of original drawings and paintings. Nobody can tell Ethan
much about the old man, except that he came and went in solitude
for nearly forty years, his genius hidden and unacknowledged.
Despite the fact that, strictly speaking, the artwork doesn't
belong to him, Ethan takes the challenge and makes a name for the
old man - and himself. Soon Ethan has to congratulate himself on
his own genius: for storytelling and salesmanship. But suddenly the
police are interested in talking to him. It seems that the missing
artist had a nasty past, and the drawings hanging in the Muller
Gallery have begun to look a lot less like art and a lot more like
evidence. Sucked into an investigation four decades cold, Ethan
will uncover a secret legacy of shame and death, one that will
touch horrifyingly close to home - and leave him fearing for his
own life.
"All the world's a stage" is one of Shakespeare's best-known and
best-loved monologues, recounted by the melancholy Jaques, in As
You Like It. This homage to Shakespeare and Jaques' speech
comprises the text of the seven ages, with superb illustrations
from Royal Academy artists, complemented by the original text from
the First Folio of 1623.
