as an avid connoisseur of Irish haute-memes ...

I suppose this story is also what inspired the famous Irish 1998 classic blockbuster "Fatal Deviation" a Kung-Fu film that never received the recognition it deserved and which is the perfect film for a first date https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPne3Wh0lqk

- Then there is this guy who does a life stream of his flight simulator journeys only he takes you to the most depressing locations in Ireland such as Tesco's parking lot of a rural town on a Sunday etc. Unfortunately I can't find his channel but he kept popping up in recommendations last year.

> Despite their fascination with their subject, the authors of this splendid and intriguing work have forgone the temptations of pseudonymity, each writing under her and his own name.

Can someone explain this to me? Why would the writer of a work of history be tempted to write under a pseudonym?

As the context provides, the critic is simply making a callback to a character from an earlier book written by one of the authors.

It's not actually tempting to use a pseudonym; the critic is trying to add some color to the review.
