A Poll: An "Irish"-style cottage
In Nathanael West's The Day of the Locust, someone is looking at a house to rent:
The house was cheap because it was hard to rent. Most of the people who took cottages in that neighborhood wanted them to be "Spanish" and this one, so the agent claimed, was "Irish."
Here's my question: just based on that quote, do you think this is actually an "Irish"-style cottage? Or is the agent lying to get it rented?
