Eamonn Fitzgerald's Rainy Day
Description
Eamonn Fitzgerald has seen more rainy days than he'd like to remember. But, then, when one grows up in the south-west of Ireland, rainy days are a regular occurrence. One would imagine that a childhood spent in a subsistence farming economy could offer little in the way of escapism, but the rural Ireland that existed before the country became a member of the European Union was an 18th century society of material poverty that was counterbalanced by a vital belief in the fantastic.
That a career in the media would follow from such an upbringing might sound implausible, but in a business that calls for creativity a background in storytelling is extremely advantageous. Schooling in Limerick and Dublin led to work in London, and the path that began in farming in the shadow of the Galtee Mountains eventually led to transitions that covered construction worker, radio presenting, journalism and editing.
The way from London led to New York and duties at The Nation and The New York Review of Books. The next move was to Munich and this was followed by a metamorphosis into English teacher. The Web provided the platform for the next change and a combination of writing and coding has led to stimulating times at Spotlight Verlag. Blogging is now indicating the way in which the journey will continue.
