In Our Day

For over fifty years, historian Kevin C. Kearns trekked the rough-and-tumble streets of the heart of Dublin, hoping to record and preserve the city's vanishing oral history. Armed only with a Sony tape recorder, the ordinary people he encountered — street traders, dockers, factory workers, tram drivers, midwives, mothers, grandparents, publicans, jarveys — shared private stories of hardship, joy, sorrow, survival and triumph — with humour and whimsy.
In Our Day is the culmination of a life's work — a treasure trove bursting with whispers from the past — 450 vignettes, memories and recollections gathered to present an evocative, poignant portrait of a forgotten Dublin.
'Those of us who know and love Dublin owe Kearns a huge debt.' Roddy Doyle
'Without Kevin, the lives of ordinary decent Dubliners would be forgotten. This book is a celebration of them.' Joe Duffy
