Excerpt from The InformerA drizzling rain was falling from a black bulg ing sky. Now and again a &#64258;ock of hailstones, driven by a sudden gust of querulous wind, clattered down the lane, falling in little dancing groups on the hard, perspiring asphalt.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Forty-nine-year-old Mr Gilhooley is living two lives: the one drinking in the pubs of Dublin, the other desperate and lonely, longing for love. A chance encounter with the innocent and yet destructive Nelly starts a chain of compelling, dark and menacing events. This is the underworld of 1920's Dublin. Death, violence, sex, religion and love entwine and weave paths in this visually rich and passionate tragic-comedy. Mr Gilhooley rivalled the fame of Joyce's Ulysses when it was first published, and was reviewed by W.B. Yeats as "a great novel."
