Synopsis
An intimate study of three of Ireland's greatest writers from one of its best-loved contemporary voices, Colm Tóibín
__________________
In Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know Colm Tóibín takes three of Ireland's greatest writers - Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats and James Joyce - and examines their earliest influences: their fathers.
With his inimitable wit and sensitivity, Tóibín introduces us to Wilde Senior, the philandering doctor whose libel case prefigured that of his son; the elder Yeats, an impoverished artist who never finished a painting; and to John Stanislaus Joyce, the hard-drinking, storytelling father of James, who couldn't feed his own family.
This is an illuminating study of how each of these men cast a long shadow not only over the lives of their famous sons, but over the works for which they are celebrated and cherished.

Este es un estudio iluminador de cómo cada uno de estos hombres proyectó una larga sombra no solo sobre las vidas de sus famosos hijos, sino también sobre las obras por las que son celebrados y apreciados.
