Summary:
"In Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know, Colm Tóibín illuminates not only the complex relationships between three of the greatest writers in the English language and their
fathers
, but also illustrates the surprising ways they surface in their work. From
Wilde
's doctor father, a brilliant statistician and amateur archaeologist, who was taken to court by an obsessed lover in a strange premonition of what would happen to his son; to
Yeats
' father, an impoverished artist and brilliant letter-writer who could never finish a painting; to John Stanislaus
Joyce
, a singer, drinker, and storyteller, a man unwilling to provide for his large family, whom his son James memorialised in his writing, Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know brilliantly combines biography and literary appreciation and is a revealing, personal new look at the lives of three major literary icons."--From publisher.
