About John

John Finucane
John Finucane is the author of When the Bronx Burned and The Usual, two compelling narratives—one fiction and one non-fiction—about the destruction-by-arson of large sections of New York City during the 1960s and 1970s. As a firefighter, Finucane witnessed firsthand the burning of the Bronx, which drove hundreds of thousands of people from their homes.

In his writings, Finucane always weaves in a heart-tugging romance within the midst of all the chaos and poverty. Finucane began his writing career as a journalist reporting extensively on British oppression in Northern Ireland. He wrote for and published the monthly American Irish Newsletter from 1975 to 2000. In his writings, Finucane vividly portrays the plight of the downtrodden and their struggle to survive and thrive.

He enjoys hearing from his readers and can be reached at: jfinucane154@gmail.com
