Books by Adrian Kenny

The author's keen eye and clear style lends this portrayal of an individual and a generation the truth and elegance of an enduring work of art.

The Family Business is many things: journal of a frustrated young writer and lover; portrait of bohemian social life in 1970s Dublin; intimate history of the rising Catholic middle class and of a family in flux. Kenny writes autobiography with the eye and ear of a novelist, evoking a time, a place and a welter of emotions.
