For over fifty years, Kevin C. Kearns embarked on a remarkable journey through the rugged and bustling streets of Dublin's heart, driven by an unwavering passion to capture and preserve the city's fading oral history. Armed only with a trusty Sony tape recorder, Kearns encountered a diverse range of ordinary people, including street traders, dockers, factory workers, tram drivers, housewives, midwives, children, and grandparents. These individuals generously shared private stories of hardship, joy, sorrow, suffering, survival, and triumph, painting a vivid and intimate portrait of their lives.
Our Day is the remarkable culmination of Kearns' lifelong dedication, a treasure trove brimming with whispered tales from the past. Comprising a staggering 450 vignettes, memories, and recollections, this book offers a poignant and evocative portrayal of a forgotten Dublin.
Without Kevin's tireless efforts, the lives of ordinary, decent Dubliners would have faded into obscurity. This book serves as a heartfelt celebration of their remarkable stories, a testament to their resilience and the enduring spirit of the city they called home.
In the words of Joe Duffy, a prominent figure in Irish journalism, "Without Kevin, the lives of ordinary decent Dubliners would be forgotten. This book is a celebration of them."
