In Shanty Irish, Jim Tully weaves the bittersweet, autobiographical tale of his familys journey from Ireland to America, chronicling their struggles, defeats and little victories. This unjustly forgotten American novel is one of greatest books of the Irish diaspora. This book will tug at your heart strings and make you laugh out loud.

Jim Tully has largely been forgotten today, but during the 1920s and 1930s he was considered one of Americas best writers, routinely ranked with Hemingway and Fitzgerald as a true American voice.

This Ring eBooks edition of this forgotten American classic is DRM free.

What the Critics Said:

"A yarn that soars up into the vaulted blue. It is, we submit, literature. In it for a moment, the national letters have a glorious reversion to the roaring vigor of yore. James M. Cain

A chunk of real life. It made me feel human and humble, which is good for anybody - Upton Sinclair

"Shanty Irish is Jim Tullys greatest contribution to American literature. In our opinion it will become a definite part of our national belles lettres. Bruce Gould, The New York Evening Post

"In Shanty Irish Jim Tully is in his brutal and tender glory." - George Currie, The Brooklyn Daily Eagle

"With great artfulness Tully draws his people-his romantic and other-worldly mother, his crude giant of a father, his indomitable grandmother, his Rabelaisian grandfather, and his luckless gentle sister. There are no lay figures among them; he contrives to make all of them live and move. The humorous episodes are full of rough and irresistible mirth." American Mercury
