Oliver St John Gogarty - the contemporary of W.B. Yeats, Lloyd George, Augustus John and James Joyce (who depicted him as Buck Mulligan in Ulysses) - is admirably qualified to recount the racy tales of Dublin life in the 1920s. He revives a whole city of characters and scenes which have now passed into legend. His is the story of the city of Guinness and the Liffey, tramcars and the Castle, and in telling it Gogarty sketches the great Irish writers, eccentrics and statesmen that he knew. And into this fantastic embroidery of Ireland he weaves the poetry of her major figures, shaping the times when the century was young - a golden vision lit with humour whose true hero is the immortal landscape and soul of Ireland.
