Booking Passage
Author(s): Thomas Lynch
In February of 1970, Thomas Lynch, aged twenty-one, bought a one-way ticket to Ireland. This work is part travelogue, part cultural study, part memoir and elegy, and part guidebook for what Lynch calls 'fellow pilgrims' working their way through their own and the larger histories. It is a hymn of praise to Ireland.
