Jack Holland (4 June 1947 – 14 May 2004) was a journalist, novelist, and poet who built a reputation chronicling "The Troubles" in his native Northern Ireland.[1] He published articles, short stories, four novels, and seven works of non-fiction, mostly dealing with the politics and cultural life of Northern Ireland. His last book, Misogyny: The World's Oldest Prejudice, was something of a departure from his usual writings, and its original publisher abandoned the finished manuscript shortly after Holland's death, which followed a brief struggle with cancer. However, the book was later published posthumously by a different publisher.[2][3]
