DEATH OF PUPPETEER, PAT BRACKEN

Administrator — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 00:07:33 +0000

It is with a sense of shock and sadness that I learn this evening of the death of puppeteer and Dubliner Pat Bracken, resident of Galway for many years. I knew him well. There are apparently no immediate details. My condolences to members of his family and friends from myself and the Centre. May he rest in peace. - Fred Johnston

COMMEMORATE IRISH WRITERS’ CO-OP IN CAPTAIN AMERICA’S IN GRAFTON STREET, DUBLIN

Administrator — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 11:26:08 +0000

I am delighted to say that I have just secured the support of Senator David Norris for this proposal. Would Captain America’s in Grafton Street now take it up? In 1974, following on the publication of some letters of mine in newspapers outlining an interesting Scandanavian approach to co-operative publishing, I received a call from Peter Sheridan which resulted in a meeting in Captain America’s restaurant, Grafton Street. Those present were Neil Jordan, Peter Sheridan and myself. At that meeting was born The Irish Writers’ Co-operative. The first manuscript considered for publication by Co-Op Books was ‘The Ikon Maker,’ by Desmond Hogan. In time, other writers, including Ronan Sheehan and the late John Feeney, came on board.

The significance of The Irish Writers’ Co-operative is difficult, perhaps, for young writers these days to appreciate. It was virtually impossible to get new fiction published in this country. Here were a group of young writers doing it for themselves. It gave rise, in my view, to the Irish publishing industry as we now know it which, along with arrival of major overseas publishers, offers a significant opportunity for the publication of new fiction. Co-Op books published many of the major writers of the time, and playscripts were also published.

Given all of this, I think it is high time there was something in or outside Captain America’s Grafton Street restaurant to mark the birth there of the Irish Writers’ Co-operative and, arguably, a new Irish literary renaissance. Dublin is aiming for the UNESCO City of Literature title. It seems fitting that the birth of a new era in contemporary Irish writing should at least be commemorated by a modest plaque. I woud be pleased if those interested might contact me about this. (087) 2178138 - Fred Johnston
