Work Information
In a changing age, the paths of father and son keep colliding.
The Irishman treats life in a remote landscape not as local color but as a history shaped by changes in work and transport. It balances the texture of frontier life with the accessibility of a family novel, leaving behind the urgency of someone struggling to keep pace with change.
