Last Night's Fun

Last Night''s Fun''s is a sparking celebration of music and life that is itself a literary performance of the highest order. Carson''s inspired jumble of recording history poetry tall tales and polemic captures the sound and vigor of a ruthlessly unsentimental music. Last Night''s Fun is remarkable for its liveliness honesty scholarship and spontaneous joy; certainly there has never been a book about Irish music like this one and few books ever written anywhere about the experience of music can compare with it.
