Truth in reviewing: I didn't finish this book, largely because I was growing increasingly disinterested in it. One had the sensation of a person telling a very long-winded joke, which one can't get because of the allusions contained within it. Unless you're very well versed in 1920s and 1930s Irish politics, I don't think you're going to get more than a fraction of the allusions and references in the book. Be forewarned. ( ) A fantasy-Memoir of the Irish flowering of the Early twentieth Century, by a man who was not the least of the blooms. Though he lost the libel suit arising from material in this book, Gogarty portrays many of the period's luminaries sympathetically. He said, "the names are real, the characters fictitious!" It runs from 1932 to 1904, in that order, and is interesting, where it's not riveting. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Gogarty was a leading figure in the Irish literary renaissance of the early twentieth century whose legendary wit and skills as a raconteur outshone his considerable accomplishments as a writer and poet.Witty, eccentric and vastly entertaining, this is Gogarty's second and best-known autobiographical book. Written with passion and keen observation, it paints a vivid portrait of Dublin in the 1920s. It is peopled with an extraordinary cast of characters from the cultural and political life of the time who were Gogarty's personal friends: W. B. Yeats, James Joyce, George Moore, William Orpen, Lady Lavery, Augustus John, Arthur Griffith, Tim Healy and Michael Collins. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
