'a sober book with moments of humour and much-earned wisdom'

SUNDAY ADVERTISER

"They don't make lives like this anymore,' hailed the Irish Voice of Malachy McCourt's first book, A Monk Swimming. The exuberant self-portrait, which overflowed with both hilarious and bittersweet anecdotes, paid tribute to the joys of a freewheeling life - and made Malachy McCourt one of the world's most irresistible rascals. When we last saw McCourt in A Monk Swimming, in 1963, he was lost, his family gone, his life in chaos. Singing My Him Song finds McCourt on a different path altogether.

In Singing My Him Song, McCourt shares his new adventures and a career that took him to radio and television, movies and politics. He tells us how he went from living the headlong and heedless life of a world-class drunk to becoming a sober, loving father and grandfather, still happily married after thirty-five years.

Darkly comic and fully realised, Singing My Him Song rounds out an uncommon life of a master raconteur.
