We Don't Know Ourselves
The #1 Irish Times bestseller <BR>WINNER of the An Post Irish Book Awards <BR>'A clear-eyed, myth-dispelling masterpiece' Marian Keyes <BR><BR>'Sweeping, authoritative and profoundly intelligent' Colm Tóibín, Guardian <BR><BR>'With the pace and twists of an enthralling novel' Irish Times <BR><BR>'Evocative, moving, funny and furious' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times <BR><BR>'An enthralling, panoramic book' Patrick Radden Keefe <BR><BR>'A book that will remain important for a very long time' An Post Irish Book Award<BR><BR>We Don't Know Ourselves is a very personal vision of recent Irish history from the year of O'Toole's birth, 1958, down to the present. Ireland has changed almost out of recognition during those decades, and Fintan O'Toole's life coincides with that arc of transformation. The book is a brilliant interweaving of memories (though this is emphatically not a memoir) and engrossing social and historical narrative. This was the era of Eamon de Valera, Jack Lynch, Charles Haughey and John Charles McQuaid, of sectarian civil war in the North and the Pope's triumphant visit in 1979, but also of those who began to speak out against the ruling consensus - feminists, advocates for the rights of children, gay men and women coming out of the shadows. We Don't Know Ourselves is an essential book for anyone who wishes to understand modern Ireland.

Shakespeare is Hard, but so is Life
The works of Shakespeare have become staples of literature. They are everywhere, from our early schooling to the lecture rooms of academia, from classic theatre to modern adaptations on stage and screen. But how well do we really know his plays?<BR><BR>In this witty, iconoclastic book, the bestselling author Fintan O'Toole examines four of Shakespeare's most enduring tragedies: Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello and King Lear. He shows how their tragic heroes have been over-simplified and moulded to fit restrictive, conservative values, and restores the true heart and spirit of the classics.<BR><BR>'I've never read a book like this before: it's challenging, irreverent and funny.' Roddy Doyle
