Song for a Poor Boy: A Cork Childhood
Song for a Poor Boy introduces the reader to the Galvin family living on the south side of Cork City. Unusually, it is Patrick's father who is the more religious of the two while his mother is out protesting about the Spanish Civil War. The young Patrick's education is enriched by his friendship with Mannie Goldman, the bibliophile who introduces him to all the great authors. Through Patrick's rambles about the city with his friend emerge a number of fanciful and humorous vignettes, from the man who believed himself to be a seagull, to his cousin Beatrice whose whole life was tied into the world of fish.
