Peter Quinn launches his new book, Looking for JimmyThursday, March 8th at 7pm
 |
From caricatures of the drunken fighting Irishman came the image of the Irish “Paddy,” but as Paddy fades into memory, what is the face of the Irish in America? In his new book, Looking for Jimmy, author Peter Quinn explores the image of “Jimmy,” an archetypal Irish American who comes to life as the fast-talking, tough-yet-refined urban American who redefined American politics, street culture, religion and moral imagination during the twentieth century. Peter Quinn is the author of Banished Children of Eve and The Hour of the Cat. A third generation Irish-American New Yorker, Quinn is a former speech writer for two New York governors and the former Editorial Director for AOL Time Warner. |
