The Ginger Man by J.P. DONLEAVY

First published in Paris in 1955 and originally banned in America, J. P. Donleavys 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. Donleavys wildly funny, picaresque classic novel of the misadventures of Sebastian Dangerfield, a young American neer-do-well studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Dangerfields 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
