‘When the turbulent life of the Irish playwright, author, poet, raconteur and rebel came to an end in 1964, he left behind a legend that has become in death even larger than the outsize shadow of the man himself. But along with the legend, he left too the story, recorded on tape, of his colourful and rumbustious life from the time of his release from Borstal in 1941 to his marriage to Beatrice ffrench Salkeld in February 1955.’
A scarce and sought after book.
