How to Make Dublin Boring

Having read the suberb Cityscapes book on Lima I ordered this book because I spent much time in Dublin in the 1950's and was interested in its transformation to a city so different than the De Valera years. I was very disappointed. She covered all the history and the buildings of Dublin but in a curiously stilted fashion.The charm of the city, its remarkably lively inhabitants, the enormous talent in its literary culture seemed buried in a wealth of historical details which one could get in any competent guide book.
