James Plunkett était un écrivain irlandais célébré pour ses représentations réalistes de la vie de la classe ouvrière à Dublin. Ses œuvres explorent souvent les thèmes de l'injustice sociale, de la pauvreté et de la résilience humaine face à l'adversité. Plunkett a magistralement capturé la voix et l'atmosphère authentiques des rues de Dublin, créant des récits remplis de personnages captivants et de moments poignants. Sa contribution littéraire réside dans sa perspective honnête et empathique sur la vie des gens ordinaires.
Centring on the seminal lockout of 20,000 workers in Dublin in 1913, Strumpet City encompasses a wide sweep of city life. From the destitution of Rashers Tierney to the solid, aspirant respectability of Fitz and Mary, the priestly life of Father O'Connor, and the upper-class world of Yearling and the Bradshaws, it paints a portrait of a city of stark contrasts, with an urban working class mired in vicious poverty
"James Plunkett's long-awaited second novel is a haunting evocation of the poignancy and pathos of Irish life between the wars." Back cover comment.
