Description
'Destined to be a classic' Sunday Independent'Gabriel Byrne tells his story brilliantly' - Edna O'Brien'Dazzles with unflinching honesty' Washington Post'An absolutely marvellous book' - Colm TóibÃnBorn to working-class parents and the eldest of six children, Gabriel Byrne harboured a childhood desire to become a priest.
Four years later, Byrne had been expelled from an English seminary and he quickly returned to his native Dublin.
There he took odd jobs as a messenger boy and a factory labourer to get by.
In his spare time he visited the cinema, where he could be alone and yet part of a crowd.
It was here that he could begin to imagine a life beyond the grey world of ’60s Ireland. It was a friend who suggested Byrne join an amateur drama group, a decision that would change his life forever and launch him on an extraordinary forty-year career in film and theatre.
Moving between sensual recollection of childhood in a now almost vanished Ireland and reflections on stardom in Hollywood and on Broadway, often through the lens of addiction.
Hilarious and heartbreaking Walking With Ghosts is a lyrical homage to the people and landscapes that ultimately shape our destinies.
