Robert Kanigel’s most recent book On an Irish Island was released on February 7, 2012.
Called by Indie Bound “A love letter to a vanished way of life”, the book brings to life the people and language on the Great Blasket Island in Western Ireland just as their time there is ending. The Barnes & Noble Review find that “In passages that have a wonderful, ecstatic quality, Kanigel traces Thomson’s notion that Homer had come alive on Great Blasket.”
