>pretending the Spanish don't exist

>Cervantes, Lope de Vega... I could go on

Joyce, Beckett, Wilde, O'Brien, Yeats, Swift..

because the English, French, Italians and Germans were too busy creating an everlasting and stupendously glorious Western Civilization - and side projects like the House of Lords, the Academie Francaise, The Vatican, and the Prussian General Staff - and somebody had to write the fart-fetish letters and wait for Godot

>never was a pill more red

>tfw irish and can't write

How can this be?

Probably because of their catholic culture and upbringing and the shoving of the bible in youth.

Maybe Catholics are just the best writers

Because you have to be Anglo-Irish

>catholic culture and upbringing and the shoving of the bible in youth
catholics don't read the bible

CIA is Irish?

Don't really understand why you lumped in Anglo-Irish with Englishmen of Irish descent

>putting shane mcgowan in irish as if he isnt fantastic

There's also a couple of English people that happened to live in Ireland at some point in there, as well as the firm favorite Irish people that moved to England and converted to CoE to work too.

Oh, and a good chunk of the more embarrassing Irish bit are Anglo-Irish

According to the Blind Beast, it's because the language/culture in which they write is not their own, which allows them a lot more freedom.

fpbp

Bono's half-Anglo anyway, and "John and Edward Grimes" sounds very suspicious.

>No George Bernard Shaw

On this topic, has anyone read this? Opinions?

I haven't gotten to it yet, but it sounds like a good book for someone who wants more madcap Joycean stuff.

'Anglo-Irish' doesn't refer to people of English and Irish descent for fuck sake. It's a term used to describe Aristocratic landholders in the Protestant ascendancy in Ireland.

John Lennon and Peter O'Toole wouldn't be considered 'Anglo-Irish' extraction. Not even sure why Rooney is in that pic.
