It's exhausting being Irish. The weight of history. The self-doubt. The constant analysis. The wind. Why are we so hard on ourselves? Is it the post-colonial overhang following centuries of oppression at the hands of a litany of foreign invaders? Or is it collective guilt for sending Westlife out into the wider world? Some say you can hear Irishness in the lonesome lilt of uileann pipes. In 'Surviving Ireland', acclaimed comedy writer Colm Tóibín takes the reader by the hand for a satirical romp through modern Irish life.
