Irish Books We Love

The world is finally copping onto itself and realising that some of the worlds best writers are from Ireland. But we at Harry Hartog have been reading Irish literature for a while now. These are some of our favourite* authors & books, old and new... and well you should read them all.

*This list was curated by an exceptionally biased Irish bookseller... and yes Ulysses is in the list. No I haven't finished it. And yes YOU should read it.
