RO'CK of Ages

RO'CK of Ages: From Boom Days to Zoom Days is a 2021 book by Irish journalist and author Paul Howard, as part of the Ross O'Carroll-Kelly series.

[1][2] It is a compilation of newspaper columns previously published in The Irish Times between 2007 and 2021.

[3][4] The title is a reference to the hymn "Rock of Ages", the Irish economic boom, and the use of Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic.

[5] Eugene O'Brien wrote in an Irish Times review, "There is a truth in fiction, and in Howard's work, satire provides the mode for the telling of this truth.

"[6] Niamh Donnelly, in the same paper, wrote that "[Ross'] misguided wisdom seems to grow ever more salient as the years go by.
