Donleavy-and newcomers to his antics-can rejoice at his latest, rich, ribald, and touching creation.” ― The New York Times Book Review “A charming, irrelevant novella.” ― American Way “Donleavy has created a character of enormous force and dignity...It cheers me up, this book. It is not conventional.” ― Los Angeles Times “[A] marvelously sophisticated, scatological, acerbic, and entertaining novella.” ― The Washington Times J.P. Donleavy (1926-2017) is the author of the acclaimed novel The Ginger Man, as well as The Onion Eaters, A Singlar Man , The Lady Who Liked Clean Restrooms and many others.
