Description
Dublin is a city much visited and deeply mythologized. Versions of its shabby grandeur live on vividly in the works of its great novelists and playwrights; and the booom and bubble years of the 2000s created a fresh myth of prosperity and a patina of modernity. Its most-visited tourist attraction is a brewery owned by a UK multinational; its most-photographed statue depicts the fictional subject of a song, Molly Malone ... Karl Whitney ... explores the places the city's denizens easily overlook, and unearths stories of the sort that the tourist board would prefer visitors not hear. He shows us a Dublin - or a collection of Dublins - that we've never before seen. Hidden City is a fond but searching portrait of a place that has been hiding in plain sight"--Publisher's description.
