Overview

Poignant and candid memoir by writer, playwright and artist now in her 80 s telling of her literary life and associates from the 1930 s onwards. We see a stream of partners, official and illicit, as well as the sheer struggle of motherhood and artistic expression without resources or support. But also there is the camaraderie, the parties, the nights with Kavanagh and crew in McDaids or in the flat on Leeson Street. Bedlam, heartbreak, solidarity and always the desire to keep writing. This memoir is at times searing, raunchy and robunctious, singed with the sadness that hardship visted on her and her friends but ultimately the persistence and tremendous humour are what make this an exceptional memoir where others may seem mundane
