Killing the Celt is a collection of short fiction, metafiction, and nonfiction pieces that include Celtic history, social and political satire, travel narratives, pop-culture musings, and memoir. The book's 31 essays and stories are framed within brief histories of the six Celtic holocausts, and bound together with a Celtic sensibility marked by dark, anarchic humor; a love of place, time, and culture; and a steely distrust of authority. In Killing the Celt, you will: Travel to the hillfort at South Cadbury, thought to be the site of Arthur's Camelot. Find out why Elvis was a Celtic man and the Beatles were a Celtic band. Follow the adventures of the Celtic deus ex machina, a strange, kilted little fellow who always shows up, outrageously, at just the right time. Visit the Rebel Grill, a Southern bar-b-que joint, in the gray, empty spaces of Northern England. Ultimately, Killing the Celt is about the slow passing of Celtic culture, the fountainhead of the Western imagination, into the twilight of time. (www.killingthecelt.com)

FORMAT: Softcover
By Peter Fiore
This volume contains nine personal essays on six prominent classic authors written for the average reader who is minimally familiar with the authors, probably just heard of them by name, and who would like an introduction to these literary figures and their works. The authors have been carefully chosen to represent the early classical Italian and British tradition, Dante Alighieri, John Donne, John Milton, and the 20th century British and American tradition, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Evelyn Waugh, Flannery O’Connor. The underlying argument of the book is that the authors’ Christian faith gave impetus to their creative output. Although all the observations about the authors and their works are fully researched and based on Professor Fiore’s years as professor and critic, a conscious effort has been made to avoid esoteric research problems, and their consequent footnotes, in an effort to present a readable and intimate approach to the writers. The book is ideal for the general reader, the undergraduate student, and the lover of great literature.
