Book excerpt: *** '...a story of profound, shocking loss and its ramifications... full of smart, dark humour... a compelling read... But it is also a story of resilience and survival, of pluck in the face of adversity, and is very well told, notable for its attention to detail, vivid language and descriptive power. Gaughan's story, and the strength of her writing in telling it, demands attention throughout.' - Irish Times 'Remarkable and relatable...Trouble is an outstanding memoir, a text on addiction that gets to the heart of its implicit trauma and complications. Gaughan has a remarkable voice, self-assured yet vulnerable, frank to a staggering degree - and likeable even in her darkest moments.' - The Business Post 'Raw, brutal and life-affirming - Marise has written a hugely important book that is as entertaining as it is illuminating.' - Sara Pascoe 'I couldn't put this down. A brave, honest, witty, new Irish voice that has a very bright future ahead of her.' - Jade Jordan 'Holy cow. I finished it and cried my eyes out. An incredible, beautifully written memoir about humanity, heartbreak and hope.' - Lou Sanders 'Gripping, funny and heart-wrenchingly relatable. Every time I turned the page I hoped it wouldn't be the last.' - Lily O'Farrell, Vulgadrawings 'Where so much writing about mental illness is riddled with po-faced earnestness and cliche, Marise Gaughan's take no prisoners approach to craziness, sex and Catholic girlhood is spit-your-tea-out funny.' - Fern Brady 'Disarming in its candour, hilarious and harrowing in its depictions of a life shaped by trauma and addiction, reminds us that we are not defined by our pasts, but by the small steps we take every day towards our ideal selves.' - Stephen Kelman, Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Pigeon English 'A knife-sharp and defiant story of recovery' - Tanya Shadrick, author of The Cure for Sleep Marise was nine when she first realised there was trouble, 14 when her Dad tried to end it all, and 23 when he finally succeeded. In a turmoil of conflicting emotions Marise runs - from Dublin to Amsterdam to Los Angeles, leaving a trail of sex and self-destruction in her wake. Until finally, she finds herself facing what she's become in a California psych ward, a girl imploding through trying to make sense of her father's suicide. As she retells her unravelling, from child to adult, Marise strips back her identity and her relationship with her father, layer by layer, until she finally starts to understand how to live with him, years after he has gone. Written beautifully, with wit and unflinching honesty, Marise has produced one of the most powerful coming-of-age memoirs of recent years, a brave new voice in Irish writing.

Download or read book Bulls Balls Bicycles Actors written by Charles Bickford and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Bickford's ups and downs on the straw-hat circuit, in vaudeville, on Broadway and as a screen actor have been penned by hand and reveal his bull-headed Irish talent for non-conformity. The accent is on brawling vitality from his Massachusetts childhood to his present eminence at 75. Bickford is probably best-known for his fiery role opposite Garbo in Anna Christie, a film he did not want to make because it was a woman's picture. At this distance, Bickford understandably glosses his early years on the road, and then brings a romantic Gable-Tracy boom-town immediacy to Jobs he held with his best friend ... raunchy days selling exterminator fluid, harvesting wheat and bumming the rails. Still, he found his metier at 21 and had a considerable acting background (Laertes in Hamlet, Tybalt in Romeo, and a hundred schlock plays) before he hit Broadway. His first big hit was in a Maxwell Anderson play about hobos. He hit Hollywood like a meteor, was starred in a huge C.B. DeMille epic, followed this with Garbo, then was pushed into trashy scripts because he had offended studio heads. Since then he has had rare starring roles as a fine character actor before he gave up acting in dime-store flicks. Bickford's writing is not without non-book banality and Hollywood posturing; but there is also a fine honest anger which shows through his embarrassment at holding a pen. The title might be retranslated Anger, Manhood, the Stage and Craftsmen.
