COMING SOON! IRISH ECLECTIC! Thrilled to announce that a new column will be appearing soon in The Examiner, a weekly newspaper published in several counties north of New York City. The column, called Irish Eclectic, written by me, will explore Irish music, film, literature, cultural events, cuisine and more - the same topics that will get fuller treatment here in Rethinking Irish. Hope to see it launched before the month is out.
Hello, I'm Brian McGowan. Welcome to RETHINKING IRISH, a journey of thoughtful exploration and introspection into things Irish, wherever they may be. I invite you to revel in the continued strong influence the land of Saints and Scholars exerts on the world, through its music, film, literature, history, language, cuisine and culture.
