Synopsis: |
Donkey's Years relates the life and times of one of Ireland's greatest contemporary writers, Aidan Higgins. As in his fiction, Higgins' writing exquisitely captures sights, smells, and emotions, detailing his life from childhood in County Kildare before his family's economic decline. In writing his memoirs Higgins exposes the sources for many of his best novels, from Scenes from a Reading Past to Langrishe, Go Down, giving the reader a rare look into the "story behind the story". But Donkey's Years is more than a factual expose - this stunning memoir is constructed in a novelistic way, creating a work of literary art out of a life. |
