A serious art. It is a good bet that James Joyce would read Gerry Adams' short stories to learn about souls in Belfast as the world reads Dubliners.

Reviews
Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams is a natural storyteller.
He writes convincingly and with compassion...The warmth of Adams' writing comes from the affection of a man for the remembered things of the past.
Adams has a lively style, and the vernacular of West Belfast rings true...The book provides an insight into a side of life often only glimpsed—and provides a challenging perspective.
