The Dubliner Diaries

In the summer of 2000 a young Irish journalist returned from New York to launch a magazine about life in boomtown Dublin.

The Dubliner was an instant failure, and within a few months it was close to bankruptcy.

For the next seven years Trevor White struggled to keep the magazine afloat.

Along the way he managed to alienate nearly everyone in Ireland.

The Dubliner Diaries is an awkward history of the Celtic Tiger by a man who tried to capture it, and ended up being mauled.
