The luck (and literature) of the Irish
You may not realize it, but you have Irish authors to thank for some truly entertaining and inspiring pieces of literature, from classic tales to modern works of fiction to some of the best books of all time. Chances are, you already know some of the more iconic writers—Sally Rooney, James Joyce and Tana French, to name a few—but there’s a whole world of Irish authors out there, writing in a range of book genres.
With that in mind (and St. Patrick’s Day approaching), we’ve rounded up the best books written by Irish authors. Some are bestsellers. Some are award-winners. Some are taught in colleges across the country. And all have captivated the hearts and imaginations of readers both in and beyond Ireland. Reading these titles makes for a fun St. Patrick’s Day tradition, but they’re worth your time year-round.
