The Life and Times of a Teaboy
Book Review:
Michael Collins - The Life and Times of a Teaboy
Ambrose Feeney has seen his hopes and ambitions dashed by others` influence and his own inertia.
His Limerick is an old siege city of walls, both real and psychological.
As Ambrose descends into lunacy he paints a starkly sane portrait of one family`s life in Ireland unsoftened by the mists of legend.
Success Gregory Riding`s life is a series of tittilating conquests.
Sister, employers, acquaintances are but co stars among a cast of thousands to have passed through his busy bed.
His foster brother has to make do with his leavings as he pursues his existence of squalid mediocrity,
no match for the dazzling exploits of the narcissistic fop upstairs. But roles are reversed when Success swivels her capricious head.
