Pete McCarthy is one such person and in McCarthy's Bar he attempts to unravel whether he is English, Irish or both.

Following the golden rule of travel - that he never passes a bar with his name on it - McCarthy does not aim to discuss his dilemma with scholars or academics. He talks about it with the man at the bar or the woman whose Bed & Breakfast he is staying in.
