Paddy Boy
Paddy Boy is Patrick O’Flaherty’s lively memoir of childhood in a small secluded Newfoundland community, covering the years 1939-54. This time is most unique because it is a bridge between the old Newfoundland with its curious links to England, Ireland, and Scotland, and its new status, after 1949, as a province of Canada. O’Flaherty reimagines just what that lost world was like, how children figured into it, how his family and other families functioned and what part religion played.

The Hardest Christmas Ever and Other Stories
Christmas is often an emotional time for many and Patrick O?Flaherty offers a most unique story about a Newfoundland fisherman trying his best to make it through a tough time. The novella-length lead story follows a Newfoundland fisherman on Christmas Eve as he begins his day. The stories in this uniquely Newfoundland collection will jog the brain, lift the spirit, and touch the heart. In "Stuck on Ophelia," a political science student idly enters an introductory English class in pursuit of a girl and in "The Gift," a novice in the grim business of door-to-door campaigning comes to a startling realization.

Liam O'Flaherty's Ireland
Quotations from Liam O'Flaherty's work combine with photographs of Ireland to create a journey of images and words through O'Flaherty's lifetime. The author was born on the Aran Islands. This book covers his early years, his World War I experiences, his years of travel, his involvement in the Irish Civil War and Communist politics, and his success as a writer in a generation of Irish writers that included Frank O'Connor, Sean O'Faolain and Austin Clarke.
Scotland's Pariah
Scotland’s Pariah is the first book to examine the remarkable life of John Pinkerton: antiquarian, poet, forger, cartographer, historian, serial adulterer, bigamist, and religious skeptic. A pugnacious and persistent man of letters who knew and was admired by literary masters such as Edward Gibbon, Horace Walpole, and William Godwin, Pinkerton’s life was full of personal and professional misadventures. Patrick O’Flaherty’s biography presents an engrossing account of Pinkerton’s life and works from his early years in Scotland to his Parisian exile, covering his major editorial, antiquarian, and geographic works. Examining Pinkerton’s involvement in the London literary scene, his conflicted relationship with the rise of Celtic nationalism, and his response to early literary romanticism, Scotland’s Pariah is a shrewd and compassionate evaluation of an astonishing literary life.
