Irish Thought for October 17...

Irish-American Writers

Pete Hamill

Born in Brooklyn to Irish-immigrant parents, Pete Hamill combined a native New Yorker's love of his city with the Irish gift of gab to become a voice of the city, most notably as a longtime columnist for the New York Post and the New York Daily News.  Over the course of his career, he wrote for a wide variety of publications on many subjects, ranging from Vietnam and Northern Ireland to rock 'n' roll and boxing.  Hamill is the author of 11 novels, as well as the memoir A Drinking Life and several other works of nonfiction.
