jazzy_daveColm Tóibín "Lady Gregory's Toothbrush" (Picador)
This was a fairly good summary of Lady Gregory's influence on Irish theatre and the nationalistic movement. I was a bit surprised at how anti-feminist this woman was. She seemed not only to distrust but to dislike other women. Nevertheless, she played a major role in the resurrection of Irish literature and culture, and she was a friend and patron to Yeats, Singh, O'Casey, and others. At just 125 pages long I read this in one session.
