Abstract
More short stories by Goran set in Pittsburgh's Irish Club—nickname of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Local No. 9, in a second floor loft on Oakland Avenue—which revolve around the club, a sort of town hall and village green for the close-knit Irish-American community. The real club closed in 1965.
