James Plunkett è stato uno scrittore irlandese celebrato per le sue realistiche rappresentazioni della vita della classe operaia a Dublino. Le sue opere spesso approfondiscono temi di ingiustizia sociale, povertà e resilienza umana di fronte alle avversità. Plunkett ha catturato magistralmente la voce e l'atmosfera autentiche delle strade di Dublino, creando narrazioni piene di personaggi avvincenti e momenti toccanti. Il suo contributo letterario risiede nella sua prospettiva onesta ed empatica sulla vita della gente comune.
Centring on the seminal lockout of 20,000 workers in Dublin in 1913, Strumpet City encompasses a wide sweep of city life. From the destitution of Rashers Tierney to the solid, aspirant respectability of Fitz and Mary, the priestly life of Father O'Connor, and the upper-class world of Yearling and the Bradshaws, it paints a portrait of a city of stark contrasts, with an urban working class mired in vicious poverty
"James Plunkett's long-awaited second novel is a haunting evocation of the poignancy and pathos of Irish life between the wars." Back cover comment.
