For almost fifty years, David Marcus has been a central figure in the world of Irish literature. Virtually every modern Irish writer of note has been influenced by him. Now in this memoir he tells of his own life, of the forces that shaped him and of the people he encountered. He writes vividly of his childhood in Cork city, and of being reared in the Jewish ghetto tradition. His passion for literature led to him founding Irish Writing soon after leaving university. This was to bring him into contact with the Irish writers of the day - Frank O'Connor, Dean O'Faolain, George Bernard Shaw, Sean O'Casey, Liam O'Flatery, James Stephens and Samuel Beckett. His account of traveling to Castletownsend to meet Edith Somerville is a jewel of exquisitely observed recollection. After some years working in London, he returned to Dublin to commence that part of his career for which he will always be remembered- indeed revered- as editor of New Irish Writing in The Irish Press and later as Literary Editor of the same paper. Almost every renowned Irish writer was published there. He was also to write three acclaimed novels of his own and a collection of short stories. The achievement of David Marcus is match only by his self-effacement. Yet his memoirs are marked by countless revelations- not least his role as the writer of a crucial speech for his friend from student days- Jack Lynch. Seller Inventory # 200546
