For over fifty years, historian Kevin C. Kearns trekked the rough-and-tumble streets of the heart of Dublin, hoping to record and preserve the city''s vanishing oral history. Armed only with a Sony tape recorder, the ordinary people he encountered - street traders, dockers, factory workers, tram drivers, midwives, mothers, grandparents, publicans, jarveys - shared private stories of hardship, joy, sorrow, survival and triumph - with humour and whimsy.In Our Day is the culmination of a life''s work - a treasure trove bursting with whispers from the past - 450 vignettes, memories and recollections gathered to present an evocative, poignant portrait of a forgotten Dublin.''Those of us who know and love Dublin owe Kearns a huge debt.'' Roddy Doyle''Without Kevin, the lives of ordinary decent Dubliners would be forgotten. This book is a celebration of them.'' Joe Duffy
