"Every madman thinks
everyone else mad."
J.P. Donleavy
from The Destinies of
Darcy Dancer, Gentleman |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First book in what is now a trilogy (Donleavy mentions wanting to write a fourth book
in the series). Followed at this time by Leila: Further in the Life and Destinies of Darcy
Dancer, Gentleman and That Darcy, That Dancer, That Gentleman. In an interview,
Donleavy states that it is the Darcy Dancer books that the locals who live near him in Ireland
read and not The Ginger Man, that they often greet him by calling out "How's that Darcy
Dancer?" |
