A friend gave this to me in Ireland when I was living on a green card there, jobless, in debt, and in poverty. It’s really a touching collection of stories about people who have lived in Dublin.

    Ok I’ll check it out!

    Honestly, just kind of disjointed between the word being interrupted by being split between 3 lines and then further interrupted by the placement of the name. Reads as DUB. LIN. james. ERS. Almost like Dublin and then an acronym “ERS”. Personal preference though and as someone who hasn’t read it maybe the disjointedness was intentional and reflective.z

      Awesome! Let me know what you think of it.

      I totally understand what you mean. It kind of works though when you consider how disjointed all the stories are since they’re all from lives of different individuals, during different time periods. It is a little strange upon first sight of it, though.
