Is the Holy Ghost really a Kerryman?
The obvious answer to this is: if he is not a Kerryman what is he? Is he just another ghost, a mere figment of the imagination like Hamlet's father, or is he something more sinister: a Corkman masquerading as a Kerryman or worse still a real Kerryman but having an inferiority complex; that is to say a Kerryman who thinks he's only the same as everybody else?
John B. Keane does not look upon those who peruse the pages of this book of his as mere readers. Far from it. He looks upon them, whether they be old or young, as students of the passing scene and not just the passing scene alone but as undergraduates in the university of things unusual.
Following the phenomenal success of John B. Keane's books, who can resist Keane on such varied topics as 'Wakes', 'Streaking', 'Epitaphs' and 'Long-Distance Talkers'? Nobody should miss reading this hilariously funny and entertaining book.
From the author of the internationally renowned plays Sive, The Field and Many Young Men of Twenty.
