Quentin and Philip
This remarkable double biography celebrates the interlocking lives of two of the greatest eccentrics of the 20th century: the brilliant and bizarre Quentin Crisp and the outlandish Philip O'Connor, whose careers first became entwined in Fitzrovia during the Second World War.

This memoir by an English surrealist poet astonished the literary world when it was first published in London in 1958. A classic account of O'Connor's tormented life: his father's death; his mother's abandonment; his youth as a vagrant, a madman, a promising but impoverished writer.
A Parish Far from Home
'This story is not about sport alone. This is a story about what Irish emigrants abroad have achieved despite a lack of resources, despite still living in the shadow of our neighbour across the water, and despite being weighed down by the stupidity of some of the decisions made by our politicians. Even today none of us takes the decision lightly to leave our family and friends and go and try our hand in another country. But if we do ... thanks to those who have gone before us, there is often a community ready and waiting to help us out on our arrival ...
