For almost fifty years, David Marcus has been a central figure in the world of Irish literature. Virtually every modern Irish writer of note has been influenced by him. Now in this memoir he tells of his own life, of the forces that shaped him and of the people he encountered. He writes vividly of his childhood in Cork city, and of being reared in the Jewish ghetto tradition. His passion for literature led to him founding Irish Writing soon after leaving university. This was to bring him into contact with the Irish writers of the day - Frank O'Connor, Dean O'Faolain, George Bernard Shaw, Sean O'Casey, Liam O'Flatery, James Stephens and Samuel Beckett. His account of traveling to Castletownsend to meet Edith Somerville is a jewel of exquisitely observed recollection. After some years working in London, he returned to Dublin to commence that part of his career for which he will always be remembered- indeed revered- as editor of New Irish Writing in The Irish Press and later as Literary Editor of the same paper. Almost every renowned Irish writer was published there. He was also to write three acclaimed novels of his own and a collection of short stories. The achievement of David Marcus is match only by his self-effacement. Yet his memoirs are marked by countless revelations- not least his role as the writer of a crucial speech for his friend from student days- Jack Lynch.

FLAWLESS ensemble. From Wikipedia: "David Marcus (21 August 1924[1] in County Cork ? 9 May 2009) was an Irish Jewish editor and writer who was a lifelong advocate for and editor of Irish fiction.// Born in County Cork in 1924, Marcus was the much-loved editor[2] of numerous anthologies of Irish fiction and poetry, including the Phoenix Irish Short Stories collections.//Other notable projects included the page New Irish Writing for the Irish Press, which provided a forum for aspiring Irish authors, publishing most of the most important names in Irish fiction, many for the first time, including Dermot Bolger, Ita Daly, Anne Enright, Neil Jordan, Claire Keegan, John McGahern, Michael Feeney Callan, Bernard MacLaverty, Eilis Ni Dhuibhne, Joseph O'Connor, Colm Tóibín, Colum McCann and William Wall. He was, in the words of Fintan O'Toole "the single most important literary editor in Ireland in the second half of the 20th century".[3]//His 1986 novel, A Land Not Theirs, a fictionalized account of the experiences of the Cork Jewish community during the Irish War of Independence was a bestseller. In 1986, his second novel, which drew on his experiences among the Cork Jewish community, A Land in Flames was also a popular success.[citation needed]//In 2001, Marcus published Oughtobiography ? Leaves from the diary of a hyphenated Jew, an autobiographical review of his life as an Irish Jew and as an important figure in Irish literature.//On 3 June 2005, he was awarded an honorary Degree of Doctor of Literature by the National University of Ireland, University College, Cork.[4]//Marcus was married to fellow Irish novelist Ita Daly and lived in Rathgar in Dublin. In 2016 she published a memoir of their life together, I'll Drop You a Line: A Life With David Marcus." (NO previous owner names; NO remainder marks.).
