We don't know ourselves : a personal history of modern Ireland / by O'Toole, Fintan,1958-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A celebrated Irish writer's magisterial, brilliantly insightful chronicle of the wrenching transformations that dragged his homeland into the modern world. Fintan O'Toole was born in the year the revolution began. It was 1958, and the Irish government?in despair, because all the young people were leaving?opened the country to foreign investment and popular culture. So began a decades-long, ongoing experiment with Irish national identity. In We Don't Know Ourselves, O'Toole, one of the Anglophone world's most consummate stylists, weaves his own experiences into Irish social, cultural, and economic change, showing how Ireland, in just one lifetime, has gone from a reactionary "backwater" to an almost totally open society-perhaps the most astonishing national transformation in modern history. Born to a working-class family in the Dublin suburbs, O'Toole served as an altar boy and attended a Christian Brothers school, much as his forebears did. He was enthralled by American Westerns suddenly appearing on Irish television, which were not that far from his own experience, given that Ireland's main export was beef and it was still not unknown for herds of cattle to clatter down Dublin's streets. Yet the Westerns were a sign of what was to come. O'Toole narrates the once unthinkable collapse of the all-powerful Catholic Church, brought down by scandal and by the activism of ordinary Irish, women in particular. He relates the horrific violence of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, which led most Irish to reject violent nationalism. In O'Toole's telling, America became a lodestar, from John F. Kennedy's 1963 visit, when the soon-to-be martyred American president was welcomed as a native son, to the emergence of the Irish technology sector in the late 1990s, driven by American corporations, which set Ireland on the path toward particular disaster during the 2008 financial crisis. A remarkably compassionate yet exacting observer, O'Toole in coruscating prose captures the peculiar Irish habit of "deliberate unknowing," which allowed myths of national greatness to persist even as the foundations were crumbling. Forty years in the making, We Don't Know Ourselves is a landmark work, a memoir and a national history that ultimately reveals how the two modes are entwined for all of us"--

Forever Terry : a legacy in letters / by Fox, Darrell,1963-compiler.;
"Terry Fox defined perseverance and hope for a generation of Canadians. Forever Terry reflects what Terry's legacy means to us now, and in the future. 2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope. Celebrities (both from Canada and beyond) regularly ask the Terry Fox Foundation what they can do to support Terry's cause and legacy. The answer: write a short piece telling readers what Terry Fox means to them. A memory. A moment of inspiration. A glimpse of hope to a patient. A jolt of strength. Or even a moment of sympathy. Forever Terry is a collection of 40 personal letters from 40 prominent celebrities displaying what Terry Fox means to them, and gives voice to an icon whose example spoke much louder than his words. The list of contributors includes Bobby Orr, Margaret Atwood, Catriona Le May Doan, Gordon Lightfoot, Douglas Coupland, and many more.".
