From John B. Keane, the author of internationally renowned play, Sive.
In this book we get a complete picture of life in Knockanee as seen through the eyes of a publican, Martin MacMeer. He relates his story to his friend Dan Stack who is a journalist.
He records in a frank and factual way events like the cattle fair where the people came in from the hinterland with caps and ash-plants and long coats, - and the cattle stood outside the doors of the houses in the public streets. Through his remarkable perception we get a tooth for all the different characters whom he portrays with sympathy, understanding and wit.
We are overwhelmed by the charms of the place where at times trivial incidents assume new proportions. These incidents are exciting, gripping, hilarious, touching and uncomfortable. Once you have started to read it you will not be able to put it down and when you have finished it you will want almost immediately to read it again.
