F. Scott Fitzgerald, Great Irish Writers, Episode 215 

The Irish people have been given certain gifts by God but not all Micks have all of those gifts. Some have just a few. Some of those gifts are; that we are healthy and tall, of rosey complexion, have great humor, have positive attitudes, have the gift of gab and we love and use the written word well. Great Irish writers prove this last one such as; James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde, Brendan Behan, Clare Keegan, Seamus Heaney, Flannery O’Connor, George Bernard Shaw, J.M. Synge, Maeve Binchy, Alfred Hitchcock, Dennis Lehane, Malachi Martin, William Buckley, Cormac McCarthy, Edgar Allen Poe and Eugene O’Neill to name just a few. 

With this episode, F. Scott Fitzgerald I am beginning a series on Irish and Irish American writers.
