Looking for Jimmy by Peter Quinn
In Quinn's hands, the Irish stereotype of Paddy gives way to an image of Jimmy--an archetypal Irish-American (a composite of Jimmy Cagney and Jimmy Walker) who comes to life as a fast-talking, tough-yet-refined urban American redefining American politics, street culture, religion, and imagination. From their immigration into America to the politics of the modern day, Quinn's vibrant prose weaves together the story of a people that has made an immeasurable contribution to American history and culture.| SKU | Unavailable |
