Writers Talk: Ideas of Our Times - J.P. Donleavy
with Frank Delaney. The Roland Collection of Films and
Videos on Art. 45 minutes. Color. Available in a variety
of international formats including VHS-NTSC and PAL.

J.P. Donleavy appears in a segment of a series of "Guardian
Interviews" in candid conversation with Frank Delaney,
with additional questions asked later by members of the
audience. Although not stated on the package, the date of
this taping was most likely sometime in 1987 as Donleavy
is shown with a UK copy of his just-published "new"
novel, Are You Listening Rabbi Löw.

A very interesting and entertaining interview.
Highly recommended.

Winner of the Worldfest Houston Gold Award 1992
and a Cine Golden Eagle Award in 1993, J.P. Donleavy's
Ireland features the author reading passages from his
book of the same title as well as from A Singular Country
and The History of the Ginger Man while taking the
viewer on a personal tour of "...the land that long knows
how to tolerate suffering." A lot on Ireland and on the author.
One highlight is a peek into Donleavy's study where he
demonstrates how he revises his manuscripts - a manner
quite unique. Highly recommended.
