About This Item
*Excellent good copy- A Monk Swimming by Malachy McCourt - Slapped with a libel suit after an appearance on a talk show, Malachy McCourt crows, "If they could only see me now in the slums of Limerick, a big shot, sued for a million. Bejesus, isn't America a great and wonderful country?" His older brother Frank's Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir, Angela's Ashes, took its somber tone from the bleak atmosphere of those slums, while Malachy's boisterous recollections are fueled by his zestful appreciation for the opportunities and oddities of his native land.......... Oversized paperback book in good condition. Covers are good with some wear mostly at edges, corners. Spine is very tight. Pages are good, Clean and unmarked. Really nice reading copy........
