內容簡介

Discover the untold story of 1980s Irish New York, where love, politics, and rock ’n’ roll collide in a gritty urban tale that’s as passionate as it is poignant.

Rockin’ The Bronx vividly transports readers to the vibrant and chaotic world of 1980s Bronx, where Irish immigrants forged a new community amidst the backdrop of political upheaval and cultural transformation. Larry Kirwan, leader of the revolutionary band Black 47, blends drama, passion, and musical evolution into a narrative that captures the essence of an era defined by its challenges and triumphs. Through the eyes of characters like the groundbreaking gay hero, a book-loving, hard-hitting immigrant with IRA roots, and the central couple, Seán and Mary, who navigate this raucous landscape, Kirwan explores the intersecting worlds of personal identity and communal struggle. Set during significant historical moments--the deaths of John Lennon and Bobby Sands, the AIDS crisis, and the birth of new musical movements--this novel not only tells the story of its characters but also of a neighborhood echoing with the rhythms of change. As these Irish immigrants carve out their destinies, they leave behind a legacy of resilience and rebirth, encapsulated in a narrative that moves irrepressibly to the beat of the 1980s. Rockin’ The Bronx is more than a novel; it’s a chronicle of a time when being Irish in New York could mean everything from strapping on a Stratocaster to knocking down walls both structural and cultural." data-fwclientid="8689d109-65f9-4971-bf1f-858e6c13ac9c" data-preservehtmlbullets="1" data-allowlists="0" data-crlfsubmit="1" autocomplete="off" spellcheck="true" class="field_input_main field_input_copytext field_input_copytext_body copytextheight-normal field_input_disabled fieldkeycheck-setup copytext-setup" contenteditable="false">Discover the untold story of 1980s Irish New York, where love, politics, and rock ’n’ roll collide in a gritty urban tale that’s as passionate as it is poignant.
