Yeats is Dead begins with Roddy Doyle and ends with Frank McCourt. In between, thirteen other Irish writers spin an increasingly elaborate tale of murder, mayhem and literary shenanigans in present-day Dublin. A series of bizarre murders, a missing manuscript by James Joyce, an investigating detective named Andrew Andrews, and a sheaf of papers bearing a cryptic clue are a few of the ingredients in a mystery written by fifteen acclaimed Irish writers.
