you new here?

>>8430128
I think that rock should read LONDONderry.

republic obviously

Ireland has been shit after Joyce and he died 9 years before the Republic was formed.

The answer is neither.

>>8430174
Loyalists even call it Derry in their songs. Saying "Londonderry" in conversation is at best pedantic and at worst going out of your way to start shit.

>>8430183
Might want to check your dates there...

Can someone give me a good example of Hun writers?

Are there any?

>>8430255
Yeats

>>8430255
I'll be more specific. Northern Irish unionist writers.

>>8430279
Yeats was a big prod. I don't think you can divide Irish writers by religion, but they can be divided on Loyalist/Republican lines.

Loyalists can't read so they don't write.

>>8430301
>loyalists can't read so they don't write

when will there be a novel of a man who spends his days demanding the butchers apron fly from anywhere he can physically hang one, then spends his nights painting kerb stones and shooting teenagers for selling dope?

>>8430183
>>8430197
>>8430274
Remember, Ireland didn't become a republic until fifteen years after it gained its de jour independence.

>>8430301
>loyalist v republican
that doesn't really work m9 because a lot of the earlier revolts were anti-republican. the confederate wars and flight of the earls is hard enough without pointing out cromwell was a republican.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contention_of_the_bards

it's much easier to just count it as one island that occasionally sends spergish or silver tongued missionaries for more books when assessing it as a collection of literature. swift reads just as well if you think catholics should eat babies or he was joking.

>>8430351
>independence of the day

>>8430349

The guys shooting teenagers for selling dope and drugs are namely RAAD. I trust you know what that stands for?

>>8430376
It means you're only seeing one side.

Historically, the south has far better lit but in recent years more emphasis has been given to northern writers because of muh troubles and the aftermath of all that hope and history rhyming shite.

Right now I don't think anyone on this island is producing anything good.

>>8430432
is mccabe dead? i don't want to look

>>8430432
Sinead Morrissey, Ciaran Carson and Paul Muldoon are pretty good. I also like John Montague, it'll be sad when he dies

I'm Irish and I never read Irish writers anything good nowadays other than what's listed above?

I love you guys. I had no idea that it was physically possible to build a bonfire this big without burning down the whole fucking city. I can only imagine the fumes that come off the tires and painted wood pallets.

>no surrender, no surrender, no surrender to the IRA scum!

Amazing. I wish we had a such a feisty and colourful relationship with the Quebecois, then maybe Canada wouldn't be full of cucks. Seriously though, someone tell them not to burn paint, that's bad for you.
