The Ginger Man

"THE GINGER MAN is a picaresque novel to stop them all. Lusty, violent, wildly funny, it is a rigadoon of rascality, a bawled-out comic song of sex." Dorothy Parker in ESQUIRE [From the Front Matter] Set in Dublin, Ireland, in the post-war year of 1947, this novel tells the story of a group of college students at Trinity College. Written by Irish-American author J. P. Donleavy (whose own background may have formed the basis for the setting), the novel faced censorship and banning in both Ireland and the United States.
