The old tradition of the literary stroller, whose imagination fed on the passing crowd, still survived in the intimate atmosphere of Dublin in the 1970s and 1980s. In these diaries writer Ulick O'Connor takes us into the heart of Irish life in that period, evoking the streets and bars of Dublin with their now legendary characters, the world of the Abbey Theatre and that of the Gate Theatre of Michale MacLiammoir. Ulick O'Connor recreates the atmosphere and talk of the Anglo-Irish country houses such as Lexlip Castle and Tullynally, where he often stayed as a guest of the Guinnesses and the Longfords. He also reveals the secret part he played as a go-between for the Taoiseach, Jack Lynch.
