Synopsis:

Celebrates Corkman, Dan Donovan, whose life-story reflects the cultural history of Cork in the twentieth century. Vera Ryan’s interviews bring readers into Dan’s diverse world as teacher, actor, director, broadcaster, and major player in Cork’s artistic life. Epic events like the burning of the Opera House in 1955 and the saving of the Palace Theatre in the 1980s are vividly recalled. “”This powerful memoir has a strong sense of rich creative energy.”” Irish Echo
