The Irishman is a Miles Franklin Award-winning novel by Australian author Elizabeth O'Conner, dealing with the experiences of Paddy Doolan, an Irish horse wagoner and his son Michael in the Gulf Country of north-eastern Australia.[1] It is set in the early 1920s when horse-drawn transport was challenged by the advent of motor vehicles and aircraft—change which Doolan cannot accept.[2]
In 1978, the book was adapted for the screen by Donald Crombie in a film of the same name.[3]
