The New Dubliners by Daniel Zuchowski
Bawdy and boisterous, it's an important book by a writer perfectly tuned into the experiences of the new Irish. (The Irish Times) *** The New Dubliners is an exciting new experiment and a fascinating read. (Dublin Book Festival) *** The style is fresh and the lives are interesting, often fascinating. (Dublin Review of Books) *** The New Dubliners is about life in the Irish capital as experienced by expats - life that could be similar to the one you have lived yourself, or completely different, but nonetheless one that is always authentic and, hopefully, never boring. It's not about rain or Guinness. Nor is it about whether coffee in Ireland is worse than coffee in Italy or Brazil, or whether Irish tomatoes are not as big and juicy red as Polish or Spanish ones. What it is about is love, sex, addiction, successes and failures. It's about walking along the beach on a sunny day, and about drinking wine on a moonlit roof terrace. It is about life in all its glory and misery, however pretentious this might now make it sound. *** The author of the book, Daniel Zuchowski, is a new Dubliner himself. The stories in the book are based on his own experiences and observations, as well as on those of other expats that he had met over the years. *** Some extracts from the book can be found here: http: //www.literarypublishinghouse.com/# books/ck0q.

Daniel Zuchowski is a linguist, language consultant and trainer. His first book, The New Dubliners, was described by the Dublin Book Festival as an exciting new experiment and a fascinating read, and by The Irish Times as an important book by a writer perfectly tuned into the experiences of the new Irish. His second book, Chips and Sausage: A Guide to Ireland and Her Wonders, is a very affectionate look at the island of Ireland - a guide full of humour, warmth and love. It is a tribute to the Irish people, to Ireland's rich cultural heritage, and to that breathtakingly beautiful and always incredibly green land.
