Quotations
Francis Stuart: Sam Kerry, Letter to Fortnight Review (Dec. 1996) - castigates Aosdana and
President Robinson for bestowing the Irish Republic’s ‘highest
award in the Arts’ on Francis Stuart, counting himself among Irish
writers protesting at Stuart’s selection; cites the Polish Jewish origins
of his own first wife, and professes that the proper treatment for ‘this
old Irish fascist shit would be to hawk up a gob of phlegm and spit it
into his face’, &c. (p.4).
