Synopsis by Leslie Birdwell

J.P. Donleavy is the author of The Ginger Man and more recently, Wrong Information Is Being Given Out at Princeton. In this video, he hosts a tour of his native country, Ireland, and offers his own opinions, including his view of how best to be Irish. The video includes scenes of Trinity College in Dublin, plus the theatres and pubs of that old city. County Cork and County Kerry are featured, plus the tall and rocky cliffs of Galway. Donleavy is part of Ireland's literary heritage, and this video will be of interest to all who are interest in the writing of this island nation.
