Synopsis

"Brendan Ryan, an Irishman, is now twenty two. At four he and his elder brother are placed in the infamous Glin Industrial School following parental separation. After thirty traumatic months they are rescued by their mother and moved to Keighley in England’s industrial north. Brendan, a gifted thief, has an inclination towards mathematics. As a boy the main influences on his life are Chipry, the lativian landlord and Robert Frost’s ‘two-roads’ poem. At seventeen whilst apprenticed to an instrument maker he steals five valuable violins. In the late sixties he gains a place at London University and rubs shoulders with the likes of Penrose, Bondi and the phenomenon Hawking. In his first semester he sets himself the task of stealing £50,000 from the millionaire Chas Earl. Thus far - he has achieved little. His claim to fame? He’s taken Stephen Hawking to the toilet"
