Virtual Book Table
The conference book table is a traditional place to celebrate recent new work by CAIS members. After many conferences went virtual, we thought an online book table could continue to be a good place to showcase recent books/articles/other works by our members.
Thomas O’Grady (Professor Emeritus Director of Irish Studies (1984-2019) University of Massachusetts Boston) recently published “At Bear River Station: a Snapshot of Place and Time,” an essay "engaging with a century-old photograph involving my maternal ancestors, of Wexford stock, on my native Prince Edward Island." The essay was published in a special issue of Mosaic: an Interdisciplinary Critical Journal (Vol. 53, No. 4, 2020), centered on a reevaluation of Roland Barthes’s Camera Lucida: PROJECT MUSE muse.jhu.edu/article/831916
CAIS/ACEI 2022 (held online) celebrated the work of our members and sharing recent Irish publications with conference attendees. Information on publishers, authors, and--in some cases--discounts can be found at the links below.

Laura McKenna's novel Words to Shape My Name (Dr. McKenna is a keynote at CAIS/ACEI 2022) is a historical novel that views the events of 1798 through the eyes of Tony Small, an African American who rescued Lord Edward Fitzgerald from a battlefield and became his closest companion. Hilary Mantel described the novel as
"an act of salvage, performed with great skill: cleanly written, sharp-eyed, undeceived."
Dr. McKenna's book is currently available in Ireland, and will be available soon in North America: it is also available as an ebook: see links for more information on print copies as well:
