Descriere magazin:
An intimate study of three of Ireland\'s greatest writers from one of its best-loved contemporary voices \'A father...is a necessary evil.\' Stephen Dedalus in Ulysses In Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know Colm Toibin 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, Toibin 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. \'Astonishing to read. Toibin has a hawk-like eye for literary subtleties, and a generosity towards his subjects that is warm\' Sunday Times \'Funny, exciting, illuminating, wonderful, so engaging. Tells us more than a little about our own selves along the way\' Irish Times \'There is something interesting and insightful on almost every page\' Observer \'Sparkling, subtle, witty and often deeply moving . . . A classic\' Fintan O\'Toole, New Statesman \'Scintillating, imaginative, enlightening and powerfully moving throughout\' Roy Foster, Spectator
