  A bar in the West of Ireland

• Achoimre

  Patrick wants to live and work in Ireland but he is African. He lands in a bar in the west and is offered a trial run – it is St. Patrick’s Day after all. Patrick’s survival depends upon the imagination of the locals. Eventually, the drama gives way to something more surreal. The characters fade and the author’s relationship with his own father (who is dead) demands attention. Only then is integration possible and people are seen as people, hopefully.
