When the bloody bubble of Dublin's Easter Rising fizzled out in 1916, it left a number of ruined buildings, a few snipers still forlornly shooting from housetops, a profound wave of disillusionment in the Irish revolutionary movement. Last week, a young Irishman named Louis Lynch D'Alton dramatized the change in revolutionary hearts in a bitter first novel that showed how two Irishmen reacted to the Easter Week fiasco.
