Square PegBy Dennis Kennedy Nonsuch Press, pp 191, €14.99
THE SQUARE peg referred to in the title of this book is the author, Dennis Kennedy, who, despite his name is a Northern Protestant who worked at The Irish Timesfrom 1968 until 1985. Many might have thought he would have fitted right into the newspaper, but Kennedy was of the non-conformist tradition and not of the Church of Ireland, which in The Irish Timesof the past so often came with a sort of sense of ownership and entitlement.
