Desmond Fennell, who died in 2021, was one of Ireland’s great independent thinkers. A writer, essayist and public intellectual, he brought a fresh perspective to debates on Irish identity, language, media, politics and the wider world. He also contributed to the Journal of Music in its early years. In a lifetime of thinking and writing – 19 books and 13 pamphlets – Fennell addressed some of the most important questions facing Irish society and his prescient writing anticipated many of the major global events of recent years. This hardback curated collection brings together his most important writings.

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
