Yeats Is Dead




In aid of Amnesty International, a brilliant 'serial novel' by fifteen of the very brightest talents in Irish writing, including Roddy Doyle, Frank McCourt, Joe O'Connor and Marian Keyes

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.
