The Dubliner Diaries by Trevor White
In the summer of 2000 a young Irish journalist returned from New York to launch a magazine about life in boomtown Dublin. The Dubliner was an instant failure, and within a few months it was close to bankruptcy. For the next seven years Trevor White struggled to keep the magazine afloat. Along the way he managed to alienate nearly everyone in Ireland. The Dubliner Diaries is an awkward history of the Celtic Tiger by a man who tried to capture it, and ended up being mauled.
[The Dubliner Diaries is] a smart and engaging read’– Frank Coughlan, The Irish Independent. ‘Thoughtful, often hilarious and endearingly self-deprecating. Trevor White might well be the pompous so-and-so he admits to being. But he’s also the most likeable pompous so- and-so in Ireland today … One of the funniest and most astute pieces of writing yet on the national midlife crisis we briefly called the Celtic Tiger.’ – Paul Howard, aka Ross O’Carroll-Kelly
Trevor White was born in Dublin in 1972. He was educated at Trinity College and worked as the editor of America's Elite 1000 before returning to Ireland to launch The Dubliner magazine in 2000. For several years he edited The Dubliner 100 Best Restaurants. He lives in Dublin.
