This title presents the memoirs of Ireland's acclaimed author and playwright, Hugh Leonard. Born in 1926 in Dublin, he was educated at Presentation College, Dun Laoghaire. He is an award winning playwright and screenwriter, and was Literary Editor at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin 1976-77. He now lives in Dalkey in County Dublin. This second volume of autobiography is a portrait of adolescence in Dublin in the 1940s and 1950s: schooldays and altar-boyhood, early bliss in the sevenpennies at the Astoria, problems with Gloria and Dolores. Leonard stirs in theatre ancedotes, vignettes of Patrick Kavanagh and Brendan Behan and divulges his own beginnings as a writer. The result is a humorous analysis of Dublin and Dubliners.

Is the Age of Interiority Upon Us? Interiority is an ancient word. As understood by St. Augustine (353-430 AD), Interiority is the exercise of coming to know oneself and God. St. Thomas Aquinas (1224-1274) referred to it as the dynamic structure of human intelligence, reflected in the desire to know all there is to know. Interiority in this book is about powerful inner resources that drive productivity and produce wholeness in everyone through their work. Our society is in deep trouble. People are disillusioned and lack direction. Institutions have lost credibility. Trumpeted solutions sound empty. Seventy-one percent (71%) of workers in the U.S. are disengaged from their work to some degree (Gallup, Q12 Survey). We need people with strengths fueled from within. People working with energies of Interiority can change themselves. This is the basis of all influence for change in the workplace, society, and everything. You are invited on a journey to influence how excellent work is achieved, and emergent wholeness grows in our world, and in us.

In 1942, with war raging in Europe, the playwright 'Perry' Perry and his wife Babs tire of Dublin literary life and move to the small, quiet coastal town of Drane. Drane, however, is more than it seems. Its social whirl revolves around the amateur dramatic society - 'The Standing Ovations' - and the film society run by Dermo Grace, owner of the Robin Hood Hotel, a man with a finger in every pie. Perry loves the 'fillums', though the Hays Code still applies ('total nudity not permissible'), and good always triumphs over evil. That's the way Judge Garrity, with his mortal loathing for sins of the flesh, thinks it should be. But it's not like life in Drane. Up on the hill is the German Embassy, rumoured to be playing strange games; down below lies the church, and an explosive book left by the censorious Canon Turmoyle; and the astonished Perry is soon entangled in a web of hypocrisy and scandal, affairs and adultery, love, tragedy and death.
