Aubrey Malone was born in Ballina and lived there until his father,
the well-known solicitor Hugh Dillon-Malone, retired in 1969 and
the family moved to Dublin. Ballina Stories and Poems is a mixture
of fact and fiction in which he reminisces on the people and places
he encountered during his formative years.
Many wise words are spoken in jest but many more stupid ones are
said in earnest, as this book demonstrates. How about this comment
on a football match from Cristiano Ronaldo, for instance: 'The
reason we lost is because we didn't win.' Or Ian Wright's, 'It took
a lot of bottle for Tony Adams to admit he was an alcoholic.' Or
Dave Woods' remark, 'The silence is getting louder.' It makes you
think, doesn't it? There are many others: 'Abstinence is the thin
end of the pledge.' 'A comedian who repeats old gags is a clear
case of the tale dogging the wag.' 'It is kisstomary to cuss the
bride.' 'Cannabalise legalis.' A cavalcade of equally regrettable
utterances form the basis of this melange of spoonerisms and
spectacular ignorance. Aubrey Malone has written a bumber of nooks.
Aubrey Malone is the youngest of nine children born to Hugh
Dillon-Malone, a solicitor from Ballina, a town in the West of
Ireland, in 1953. In this detailed memoir he documents his father's
problems with alcohol, many of which were transmitted to himself,
causing feelings of depression, lack of self-esteem, and on one
notable occasion, a night in jail after a drink-induced car
accident. He became a teacher after graduating from college but
suffered much stress and ill-health during this time. Afterwards he
turned to a life of writing and this too he documents in a book
which also acts as a valentine to a lost world of innocence, both
in himself and an Ireland he looks back on with a mixture of
nostalgia and regret.
Punctilious to a fault, Sidney Lumet favored intense rehearsal,
which enabled him to bring in most of his films under budget and
under schedule. An energized director who captured the heart of New
York like no other, Lumet created a vast canon of work that stands
as a testament to his passionate concern for justice and his great
empathy for the hundreds of people with whom he collaborated during
a career that spanned over five decades. This is the first
full-scale biography of Lumet, a man generally regarded as one of
the most affable directors of his time. Using the oral testimonies
of those who worked with him both behind and in front of the
camera, this book explores Lumet's personality and working methods.
Writers and alcohol have long been associated-for some, the
association becomes unmanageable. Drawing on rare sources, this
collection of brief biographies traces the lives of 13 well known
literary drinkers, examining how their relationship with alcohol
developed and how it affected their work, for better or worse.
Focusing on examples like F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway,
Charles Bukowski and Raymond Carver, the combined biographies
present a study of the classic figure of the over-indulging author.
