The three-time Man Booker finalist and celebrated author of Brooklyn discusses his new non-fiction work with Cullman Center Fellow Vona Groarke. Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know is an illuminating study of Irish culture, history, and literature told through the lives and work of three men—William Wilde, John Butler Yeats, and John Stanislaus Joyce—and the complicated, influential relationships they had with their equally complicated sons.
“An evocative, engaging portrait not only of ‘three prodigal fathers’…but of Dublin in the 19th and early 20th centuries."
—Gregory Cowles, New York Times Book Review
“A short but entertaining, thoroughly engaging study on the agony of filial influence.”
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Juicy, wry and compelling.”
—Maureen Corrigan, Wall Street Journal
Funding for this program is also provided by the Charles Lawrence Keith & Clara Miller Foundation and Irish Institute.
