Tarry Flynn Av Patrick Kavanagh

<p><i>He did not ask things to have a meaning or to tell a story. To be was the only story</i><br><br><b>A semi-autobiographical novel from the author of <i>The Green Fool</i> and <i>The Great Hunger</i></b><br><br>A man''s mother can be a terrible burden sometimes. For Tarry Flynn - poet, farmer and lover-from-afar of beautiful young virgins - the responsibility of family, farm, poetic inspiration and his own unyielding lust is a heavy one. The only solution is to rise above all - or escape over the nearest horizon. <br><br>Patrick Kavanagh''s <i>Tarry Flynn</i> is an idyllic and beautifully evocative account of life as it was lived in Ireland in the 1930s.</p>
