A bawdy and hilarious story, redolent of the Dublin underworld. Full of the author's gift for lyrical descriptive prose, it is a farce with highly sentimental overtones. The severely disabled Christy Brown achieved fame with the autobiographical "My Left Foot" and subsequent novels and poetry.

The legendary Irish capital has never seemed more fascinating, a city of wild moods, populated by exotic women and mysterious leprechauns. Brown writes with an exuberant, almost savange, spirit. ...[He] equals and at times surpasses his earlier triumph, Down All the Days. St. Louis Post-Dispatch Christy Brown seems to possess limitless stores of energy. In torrents of talk, bursts of song and verse, he submerges us in scenes reminiscent of those non-stop binges in Donleavy and Cary. Publishers Weekly
Christy Brown (1932-1981) is the author of a memoir My Left Foot (made into a movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis) and the novels Down All the Days and A Shadow on Summer.
