'Truth is I knew I couldn't do anything but tell stories and lies'
And tell stories he does. In turn longshoreman, saloon keeper, 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 funny, oddly winning book"
NEW YORK TIMES
"Away from the boisterous bonhomie of the bars, Malachy McCourt tells the truth about the important things"
THE HERALD
"A drunken exhilarating version of the American dream"
