«Un irlandés en Nueva York» is a memoir by Malachy McCourt, published by Debolsillo in paperback (300 pages, in Spanish).
Malachy McCourt recalls his arrival in New York and his life as an Irish immigrant, with a humorous and nostalgic eye. The narrative covers culture shock, everyday difficulties, and the discovery of a city full of contrasts, in a personal testimony about identity and the search for a place of one's own.
It is the Spanish translation of 'A Monk Swimming', by Cristina Pagès, and belongs to the Debolsillo Jet collection (no. 411); this edition was published in 2000.
Ideal for readers of autobiographical stories with a sense of humour and for those seeking tales of Irish emigration to New York.
