From the introduction by Ken Bruen: "Tourists booking holidays in Ireland inevitably do Dublin first and seem to always end up in Temple Bar, our very own Times Squarereplete with the squalor, the drugs, the homeless, and the wandering psychos . . . Pat Boran, the legendary director of the Dublin Arts Festival, once invited me to do a reading in Temple Bar. During my gig, a woman up and died . . . Temple Bar, naturally, features in many of the stories, and the authors certainly capture the noir element. Here, the city's not exactly seen through rose-tinted glasses. Black Irish humor shines in all the stories, as if instinctively the writers knew: You want it Dublin, then you want it funny as sin, dark as the smile on Joyce's face when he found he was on the index of banned books. To be Irish is to dance on the Titanic; laughter is indeed the best revenge, it's our way of evening the score. You won't find many leprechauns or bodhrans hereand not one top o' the mornin'. "The Quiet Man" has gone dark, and with a vengeance. If nothing else, this collection will kill stone-dead the Irish caricature of shite talk and blarney.
