For nearly thirty years, Kevin C. Kearns has been collecting the memories and recollections of Dubliners on tape. His previous books have focused on specific themes such as tenements and pubs. Now in this ambitious work, he uses the voices of ordinary Dubliners to construct an oral folk history of the city in the twentieth century.In Dublin Voices, the words of perfectly ordinary Dubliners are heard as they recall their lives and times.
