Book still in a great condition. >>> Yeats is Dead (2001) is a best-selling crime novel with a difference: each of its 15 chapters was written by a different Irish writer. Edited by Joseph O'Connor - who also contributed one of the chapters - the book raised hundreds of thousands of euro for Amnesty International, with the writers' royalties going to support human rights education. Writing in the Guardian Emma Brockes said that the collaboration was worth reading "for the fun-factor of watching the last three authors scramble to pull 15 storylines together; for the blatant squeamishness of the first six authors, who would rather slay the entire cast list than take up second-hand characters; and for the sense of enjoyment that infuses the thing from start to finish".
