Inkwater Press publishes An Irish Experience,
by Howard G. Franklin
 Inkwater
Press is delighted to announce the publication of An Irish Experience: Travel
Tales Flowing from History, Humor & the Search for Home by Howard G.
Franklin.
Poignant and funny, the book chronicles Franklin’s three-week journey through
the Emerald Isle in 2001, where he was when the terror attacks of 9/11 occurred.
Weaving Irish history, culture and literature with his own travels around the
country – including stops at local bakeries and glimpses of beautiful women,
along with the historical sites – Franklin’s journey is richly narrated and
charmingly self-deprecating. More than a travel memoir, An Irish Experience
shares Franklin’s own search for home, love, and belonging in a way that every
reader will relate to.
In the book’s foreword, New York Times bestselling author Nuala O’Faolain
writes that Franklin’s “love for the Irish way of life is so genuine that it
allows him to belong here … his energy and enthusiasm for sharing his
observations and insights into Irish history and culture … makes him a
warm-hearted spokesperson for the sights, sounds, and smells that form its
magic.”
