About this ebook
From the subsistence farms of nineteen fifties Ireland to the hedonistic
life of Left Bank Paris, from the bleak beauty of the West of Ireland to
Pragues post communist rudderless freedom, from life on swinging
Sohos unforgiving streets to the excitement of the stag hunt in County Meath,
from the life and death struggle of the skyscraper construction workers of New
York City to the longings of a lovelorn Dublin office worker, from the Sisters
of Mercy slave labour laundries to the virginity clinics of Morocco, Patrick
Gough takes you on geographical and emotional rollercoaster. The stories
trace a mans life, from childhood to middle age, in an explosive mixture of
joys and frustration, fear and longing, in a rhapsody of colour and emotion.
As in the story Painting with Light, life is telescoped through a sharp focused
lens, zooming in on the pain and pleasure of living.
