What are you doing to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
Get in the Irish spirit with this special video featuring author Malachy McCourt speaking about Joseph Caldwell and his connection to Ireland. In his famous Pig Trilogy—The Pig Did It, The Pig Comes to Dinner, and The Pig Goes to Hog Heaven—Caldwell trains his ear on the musical dialects of Western Ireland, an area McCourt knows well.
Watch McCourt talk about Caldwell's love of language, his appreciation for the mythology and history of Ireland, and his place in Irish-American literature.
