Irish Store: Biographical Books Before The Dawn: An Autobiography Written by Gerry Adams Published by William Morrow & Company Hardcover 356 pages 1997   Whatever he is politically ... Gerry Adams is a gifted writer who, if he were not at the center of the war-and-peace business, could easily make his living as an author, of fiction or fact.... There are frequent flashes of good writing and political insight. But to many of the questions arising naturally about him and his life's work Mr. Adams avoids answers or provides just elliptical hints and intimations.... Mr. Adams says he is "necessarily constrained," because the peace effort is still in a crucial phase and he doesn't want to jeopardize it or the people involved. Fine, from his point of view, but the constraint is a hobble.... What the inner Gerry Adams feels is more apparent in his short story collection, The Street or his prison memoirs, Cage Eleven.
