Publisher Synopsis: It might be thought we could do without another account of an Irish childhood and a wet-behind-the-ears arrival in London, but we couldn't do without this one. He is in fact a relishably odd fish.'Memories aren't true. But you can be true to them.' This comes near the end and defines the half-heard strain of stubborn honourableness that holds together the humourous melancholy of this memorable book. P.J. Kavanagh, The Spectator; Young is like Orwell's Henry Miller, getting on with his own life while momentous events surge on beyond his control.At one point Young is game enough to admit that 'poetry is a state of panic where some poor souls suffer for a time before they go to repose', but he has hardly turned his back on poetry in writing this book, which is highly poetic in its subjectivity, in its fine dissection of feeling, in its refusal to simplify people and so present them as 'characters'. I shall treasure Young's book. Crispin Jackson, The Literary Review; I have not laughed so much since my first reading of The Third Policeman. This book is an oddity, but a beautiful oddity, which goes from high comedy to deep pathos in the flick of a semi-colon. The final impression is of a haunting sadness, as in all the best comic writing. Alannah Hopkin, The Irish Times; Augustus Young. is a highly sophisticated writer and a very funny one. If there is any justice in the world, this book ought to become classic. What makes it so successful is that it is all done with smoke and mirrors, and it is done superbly. -- David McLaurin, The Tablet.

The original translations, from a manuscript in the British Library, were first published in 1916 by the great Celtic scholar T. F. O'Rahilly (1882-1953) under the title Dánta Grádha: An Anthology of Irish Love Poetry. These personal love lyrics represented a last flourish of the Gaelic tradition before it lost its literate tongue.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Credit is an opera without music. The first Act recites the story of Hugh, a successful product of Jesuit education, who returns to school as a celebrity on prize-giving day. The occasion is clouded, if not spoiled, by the uninvited presence of a certain Doc McGuiness, a dodgy business associate. The event is seen through the arias of Brother Jim, the janitor and sacristan, who brings into play ideas about language and learning development, to exemplify Pascals maxim, We do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves and in our being, but desire to live an imaginary life in the minds of others, and for this purpose we endeavour to shine. Act two begins with the reported death of Hugo in Venice. Clearly implicated, Doc McGuiness and his moll Fleur hide out in seaside Chioggia until things die down. Drugs and alcohol make their life a surreal one, as Venice and environs transmogrify into a skeleton for a danse macabre.Act three: the action moves onto the hill-town of Cioccolato where Hugo owns a bean factory. Vector and Velocity, young Harlem refugees and erstwhile students at the University for Strangers, while exploring the lower depths, come across a body and dont report it to the police. They sit at the feet of a living statue of Dante Alighieri, and exchange pre-rap palaver and white substances with him. Doc and Fleur arrive posing as tourists, and Dante offers his services as a guide, and all descent down to the underground location of Hugos factory, where they find the aforesaid body, buried but not quite dead. The party set about cutting Hugo out when an earthquake hits the town.The prosody is syllabically based ottava rima, gradually segueing into rhyming free verse with occasional ballads. The illustrations are by John Parsons. The Credit was first published as two books in 1980/85 by Menard Press/Advent Books. This edition is heavily revised. The Credit is an opera in verse, without music. The first Act recites the story of Hugo, a successful product of Jesuit education. Act two begins with the reported death of Hugo in Venice. Act three: the action moves onto the hill-town of Cioccolato where Hugo owns a bean factory. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
