The Ghost of Old Florence Street Item Info

Title:
The Ghost of Old Florence Street
Description:
Written in English, this book includes a small collection of poems to accompany Eddie Flanagan’s short story, which is the name of both the overall collection as well as the story itself. The story follows a group of six boys living in a time where districts reinforced one’s status. During a time of political strife, these boys would tell ghost stories in a blend of English and Gaelic. The central theme across most of Flanagan’s nine writings is war, but topics such as alcoholism, mental illness, spirits and the afterlife, responsibility, and education are all included. Taking on a personable and casual writing style, Flanagan connects with the readers and invites them to reflect on the deeper story contexts.
