Author: Kevin Ireland

Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 182


Echoing the erratic shape of remembrance, Kevin Ireland's second volume of memoir is 'derived from impressions, conversations, anecdotes and poems, and its vague focus is a trip to Eastern Europe', which he took by chance in 1959. Leading indirectly and haphazardly towards and away from this single happening - leaping from London toBulgaria to New Zealand and back - it explores the process of recollection itself. Outlining Kevin's experiences of friends, love and work - in such diverse places as a propaganda office in Bulgaria and the 'revisionists' department of 'The Times' - this work shows the growth of the writer and his perceptions of the 1950s, 1960s and beyond.
