Gerard McCarthy

Gerard McCarthy (1949 – 2022) was born and reared in Dublin and spent much of his adult life in Sligo. He studied Philosophy at University College Dublin. His first published essays – now collected here – all appeared in issues of Irish Pages. In his later years, he divided time between his Sligo residence, an old schoolhouse on Collanmore Island in Clew Bay, and various travels to the Mediterranean and other peripheries of Europe. Old Istanbul & Other Essays was his first book.

GERARD McCARTHY

 

This is the first book of essays by a major new Irish non-fiction writer from the West of Ireland, comparable to the celebrated Kilkenny essayist Hubert Butler first published by The Lilliput Press and subsequently widely acclaimed. McCarthy’s writing is no less distinguished than Butler’s.
