Beschreibung
Here Malachy 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.
