Tarry Flynn

A man`s mother can be a terrible burden sometimes. For Tarry Flynn – poet, farmer and lover-from-afar of beautiful young virgins – the responsibility of family, farm, poetic inspiration and his own unyielding lust is a heavy one. The only solution is to rise above all – or escape over the nearest horizon. Like `The Green Fool`, his autobiography, Patrick Kavanagh`s `Tarry Flynn` is an idyllic and beautifully evocative account of life as it was lived in Ireland in the early twentieth century.
