In casting his eye back across four decades to his early novels about the Irish Rising in the old country and the Irish arrival in America, James Carroll considers what he wrote, when he wrote it, and why? Supply of Heroes, challenging the creation myth of Irish Republicanism, was written while the secret Hume-Adams talks anticipated the Anglo-Irish Agreement and all that followed. Mortal Friends celebrates the Boston Irish for refusing to settle for immigrant inequality, even as they became the city’s champions of intolerance.
