Fiction
First published in Paris in 1955 and originally banned in
America, J. P. Donleavy's first novel is now recognized the
world over as a masterpiece and a modern classic of the
highest order. Set in Ireland just after World War II, The
Ginger Man is J. P. Donleavy's wildly funny, picaresque
classic novel of the misadventures of Sebastian Dangerfield,
a young American ne'er-do-well studying at Trinity College
in Dublin. Dangerfield's appetite for women, liquor, and
general roguishness is insatiable--and he satisfies it with
endless charm. "Lusty, violent, wildly funny ... The Ginger Man is the
picaresque novel to stop them all."--Dorothy Parker, Esquire
