In 50 contributions of short fiction and life writing, authors give voice to the working people’s experience in contemporary Ireland. Solidarity with eastern European workers, to the point of adopting their voice, in this case male, also features in Alan Weadick’s Transcendence. An Anthology of Working People’s Prose from Contemporary Ireland (Culture Matters, € 12/ £11). It is the second volume of a greater project, the first of which was published a year ago (The Children of the Nation. An Anthology of Working People’s Poetry from Contemporary Ireland, Culture Matters, 2019).
