Ambrose Feeney has seen his hopes and ambitions dashed by others'
influence and his own inertia. His Limerick is an old siege city of
walls, both real and psychological. As Ambrose descends into lunacy
he paints a starkly sane portrait of one family's life in an
Ireland unsoftened by the mists of legend. The Life and Times of a
Teaboy begins with the recollection of a Christmas past and ends
with the entrance of the principal character into a lunatic asylum;
a crisis in personal growth that mirrors the nation's. 'He is one
of the most exciting talents to have emerged not only from Ireland
but anywhere in recent decades' The Times
