The Spire by Bruce Arnold
Bruce Arnold has been one of Ireland's leading journalists and critics for over 40 years. In this selection of some of his memorable essays and articles, he casts his expert eye on Irish literature, art and contemporary culture. Divided into three sections, this collection provides a look at Ireland's rich cultural heritage.
"If he has tilted at many distinctive features of Irish life he does not welcome the Ireland 'of his youthful dreams and fledgling experiences' being watered down and changed, a country whose shedding of history, religion and national identity is symbolised by the meaningless monster spire in O'Connell Street to which he devotes the first article in this bookIf that ever happens this would be a less interesting society than the much maligned one of the 1950s that, with all its obvious shortcoming, inspired a man of Bruce's ability and discernment to remain on to chronicle and to criticise." Charles Lysaght, from the Foreword"
