Following last week’s episode on Edna O’Brien’s The Country Girls, Amy offers a few updates and draws some comparisons to a more male-centric masterpiece set in Dublin during the same time period: J.P. Donleavy’s The Ginger Man. Discover the connection between O’Brien and the Irish-American Donleavy, and learn about the memorable brawl that influenced them both! Amy also discusses what The Ginger Man has in common with one of the her favorite films, the British cult classic Withnail and I.
