520 "Colm Tóibín begins his incisive, revelatory Mad, Bad,
Dangerous to Know with a walk through the Dublin streets
where he went to university--a wide-eyed boy from the
country--and where three Irish literary giants also came
of age: Wilde, Yeats, and Joyce. Elegant, profound, and
riveting, Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know illuminates not only
the complex relationships between three of the greatest
writers in the English language and their fathers, but
also illustrates the surprising ways these men surface in
their work. Through these stories of fathers and sons,
Tóibín recounts the resistance to English cultural
domination, the birth of modern Irish cultural identity,
and the extraordinary contributions of these complex and
masterful authors"--|cProvided by publisher
