1980 | Single cassette
An interview on audio cassette conducted by Stephen
Banker. As always, Donleavy is the epitome of the
gentleman, which seems to surprise interviewers,
expecting someone more raucous and radical. Some
good subjects and questions put to the author who
sheds some light on his views beyond his books and
writing. Banker is an adroit interviewer, keeping it
moving along. My only criticism is that the tape isn't
very long; indeed, there is a definite urge to reach for a
nonexistent tape 2 upon completion of the second side. |
