Product description

Review

A triumph. - Guardian, 'Mr Donleavy's creation…has left a mark on a literary generation.’

#NAME?, 'Comic, dirty, and delightful. And one of those books which reveals its quality from the first line… The Ginger Man is the picaresque novel to stop them all, lusty, violent, wildly funny.’

Dorothy Parker
