Kenny, Sean (1995). The Hungry Earth. Wolfhound Press.
This novel is significant in that it is set in modern 1990s Dublin
and Galway, with flashbacks to the 1840s famine period, and is the first
novel to tackle the issues of present-day responses and aspects of 'transgenerational'
impacts on the Irish people today. It is the author's first novel, and
Mr Kenny, who now lives in California, recently participated in the San
Francisco Bay Area Book Fair panel discussion on the famine. -
