Dalla quarta di copertina:
Malachy McCourt, barman, actor, raconteur, is Frank (Angela’s Ashes) younger brother. He is married and lives in New York.
'I WAS A SMILEY, LITTLE FELLA WITH A RAGING HEART AND MURDEROUS INSTINCT'
Malachy McCourt, younger brother to Frank, has his childhood portrayed in the much loved best-selling book, 'Angela's Ashes'. Here he tells the story of his own hell-raising days when he left Ireland and went in search of fame, fortune and fun in New York.
“Truth is I knew I couldn't do anything but tell stories and lies".
And tell stories he does. In turn longshoreman, saloonkeeper, raconteur, and actor, most of the book takes place in an assortment of watering holes whose occupants drink and talk too much.
'A Monk Swimming', the story of a life lived uproariously, is light-hearted and immensely readable, outrageous and comic.
"One grows to like Mr. McCourt for his honesty, sympathise with him for his struggle...and laugh and sweat with him when the authorities seem to be closing in...a fun, oddly winning book".
New York Times
