Yeats Is Dead! A Mystery by 15 Irish Writers Hardcover - 2001

From the publisher

Fifteen of Ireland's most entertaining authors (including Roddy Doyle and Frank McCourt) came together to benefit Amnesty International -- the result was this raucous, raunchy, and diabolically entertaining mulligan stew of a novel.

Yeats Is Dead! is an elaborate mystery centered around the search for something more valuable and precious than anything else in Ireland -- an unpublished manuscript by James Joyce. A madcap chase ensues, spiced with the shenanigans of a spectacular array of characters. Gratuitously violent and completely hilarious, Yeats Is Dead! is an out-of-control tale of lust and literature that packs big laughs and an even bigger body count.
