This book was a clue in one of Greg's posts: The Galway Series by Ken Bruen
Synge went to the Aran islands c. 1900 and the book is entries from his journal. Because of that, it's in short sections with no linear narrative, jumping between topics. It was an interesting read, full of details of the islanders' way of life, and he includes some stories and songs they told him. Plus there were a few nice illustrations by Jack Yeats (brother of the poet).
Probably of no interest to any of you except perhaps Greg.
