You really want to buy the book. No self respecting Dubliner should be without it.
-- Gemma Tipton * The Irish Times *My Dublin 1963/My Dubliners 2020 by Alen MacWeeney(Lilliput) is a charming idea, bringing together past and present, the visual image and the written word. From 1963 to 1965, MacWeeney took 89 striking black and white photographs of Dubliners, capturing the capital in all its diversity. Last year, his partner Pesya Altman sparked off a social media phenomenon in which people commented on the photos, giving a very modern perspective on what feels like ancient history.
* The Independent *The richness of the comments will be of interest to any Irish person curious to glimpse Dublin life in the '60s and gauge Dubliners' reactions today. They are fascinating, comical, absurd and poignant, adding a unique dimension to Irish social history.
* Dublin Live *Ultimately, the book is a celebration of this-community, identity, memory: connection, even in isolation.
