Down by Anna Liffey

Dublin in the Rare Ould Times

Více o knize

James Connolly's memoir is a brilliant, funny, and insightful account of growing up in a tenement, an industrial school, with his adopted family in the Liberties and in the family he shared with his beloved wife, Bridie. Not without challenges, his upbeat, optimistic outlook is at the core of every decision and every aspect of his life. Armed and resilient, James' kaleidoscope career as a railway worker, a postman, and a buyer and seller of any commodity he could turn a profit on fueled a natural entrepreneurial spirit. He even dipped his toe into the party political scene as Sean Dublin Bay Loftus's political campaign manager over three elections in the '80s. His memory for names and places, nuances in dealings, scams, and one-upmanship are legendary. His story epitomizes that of a resilient, streetwise, optimistic, compassionate, and honorable true Dubliner.
