Table of ContentsReviewsMartin Parr: From the Pope to a Flat White, Ireland 1979-2019 records how quickly traditional Irish culture was replaced by exactly that. Mr. Parr, now 68, has an eye for humbug and the incongruous, like the farmers in Westport Horse Fair, County Mayo (1983) standing with their horses outside the alien Nevada Burger fast-food restaurant. His two giant plastic cones of soft ice cream in Limerick, County Limerick (1997) are a fine example of his visual wit. However humorous, Mr. Parr is never demeaning. The last picture is a two-page color image of a cup of flat white, a coffee drink like a latte, emblematic of upscale privilege.--William Meyers Wall Street Journal """Martin Parr: From the Pope to a Flat White, Ireland 1979-2019"" records how quickly traditional Irish culture was replaced by exactly that.
