Irish Thought for April 15...

Quotations

I always call myself an Irish writer.  I'm one of the few Irish writers who actually likes the phrase.  Since I am an Irishman, I feel I belong to the tradition.  I don't really feel that being Irish is the important thing.  What is important is to take Irish provincialism - which is what I happen to know about because it's what I come from - and to make it universal.
  -William Trevor
