John Gregory Dunne. Touchstone Books, $8.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-671-72514-3
Dunne identifies four stages of the Irish-American experience: immigrant, outcast, assimilated, deracinated. By the end of what PW termed ``this mordant, defiant, raunchy, sarcastic memoir--a mix of self-revelation, travel sketches, ruminations,'' Dunne is proudly searching for his great-grandfather's identity in the parish records of an Irish village.
