		Dublin, wrote Anthony Cronin in his splendid memoir, ``Dead as Doornails,'' was in the late 1940s ``an odd and, in many respects, unhappy place.'' Ireland's neutrality and censorship of the press during World War II lent the conflict ``a sort of ghastly unreality,'' and in its aftermath came a pervasive feeling of dispirited inconsequence.
		Cronin sees this as crucially important, for in taking on his familial burdens, O'Brien divorced himself from the lofty view that duty to art takes precedence over any other in the life of an artist.
		But Cronin also suggests that, in the end, he was destroyed as an artist in embracing the manner of life, and often the opinions, of a comfortable philistine.

	Monday, October 7, 1996: The word become spirit
		Anthony Cronin's book is more modest in its ambitions, in the reach and depth of its research and in the rigour of its scholarship.
		Cronin's biographical procedures are such that the works rather than the life are brought into sharper focus.
		Cronin's book is exemplary in that it consistently interrogates the life in the interests of illuminating the work and it does this in a style charged with grace, understanding and wisdom.

	JOHN BANVILLE: The Painful Comedy of Samuel Beckett
		Anthony Cronin is an Irish poet and novelist, and the biographer of Flann O'Brien.
		Cronin is neutral in the matter, though he is inclined to think the confusion was the result of error rather than Beckett's pretensions.
		Cronin and Knowlson both speculate that these illnesses were attributable in part at least to his stormy relations with his mother and with Peggy Sinclair and Ethna McCarthy, as well as to his own highly nervous disposition.

	Samuel Beckett:0060165995:CRONIN A :eCampus.com
		Anthony Cronin's biography is a revelation of this mythical figure as fully human and fallible, while confirming his enormous stature both as a man and a writer.
		Cronin explores how the sporty schoolboy of solid Protestant bourgeois stock became a prizewinning student at Trinity, flirted with scholarship, and, in Paris, found himself at the center of its literary avant-garde as an intimate friend of James Joyce.
		Then, with his sudden and astonishing fame, the balloons of myth began to inflate and a stereotype was born - frozen in exile and enigma, solemnity and sanctity.

		Anthony Cronin admirably balances his portrayal of the man and the artist, rendering the details of Beckett's uneventful life and his rich imagination in a way that fleshes out the man even as it celebrates the genius.
		Cronin, who certainly knows the lay of the land, the type of people, and even some of the actual folks Beckett knew, seems a fair and judicious biographer.
		Cronin includes plenty of delightful trivia, from quotes ("I am not a philosopher; one can only speak of what is in front of one and that is simply a mess") to the fact that Beckett always accented the first syllable of Godot.

	How He Was: Samuel Beckett's Lives
		Anthony Cronin has some very striking pages on why Beckett should have been drawn during the late 1930s to the pessimism of Johnson rather than to that of Swift.
		Given Cronin's more limited access to materials and necessary dependence upon previously-published accounts, Knowlson's account of Beckett's life from the late 1930s to the end of the War is inevitably the much richer and more nuanced of the two biographies.
		Cronin's rather more robust judgement is, I think, nearer the mark: He reckons that 'if Eleutheria had been produced before Godot it would almost certainly have been a flop', and, what is more, in seeming "like an ordinary play gone wrong...

		This is not because Knowlson and Cronin are hacks interested only in gossip and obvious life-work correlations, or because the later work is lifelessly abstract, but because they are both aware of the crassness of such an enterprise.
		Cronin is particularly dismissive of a lot of Beckett's early itching.
		Both Knowlson and Cronin are aware of this and do not try to pin Beckett's devastating later work to what was happening in his life or his world.

		Originally published in England in 1989, Anthony Cronin’s excellent biography of Flann O’Brien is finally available to readers in the United States.
		Because he was once part of O’Brien’s milieu in Dublin in the 1950s and 1960s, Cronin is able to provide an in-depth portrait of the man, his work, and his place in the Dublin literary scene of his time.
		Except for Anne Clissman’s biography, Anthony Cronin’s is the first major book to be written on O’Brien and it will be of great interest to old fans and will lead new readers to the fiction of a wonderful, very funny writer.

	Why Irish arts are smiling - [Sunday Herald] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Poor as church mice and socially dysfunctional, they lived from hand to mouth, often – according to their contemporary Anthony Cronin – having to resort to begging in the street for the price of a pint or a crust of bread.
		Cronin, who is 76, suggests we meet not in an establishment frequented by the fabled literati of yore but in a gleaming hotel on St Stephen’s Green.
		Thanks to Cronin, Haughey was able to range widely, supplying many vivid examples of the lives and tough times faced by artists down the centuries, from Michelangelo to Modigliani.

	Slugger O'Toole: The Living not the Dead
		And indeed if Tony Cronin had drunk himself into the grave like all his contemporaries from Dublin in the Fifties, Dead as Doornails would be on the Leaving Cert course and Cronin would be lionised in the way that Flann O'Brien and Paddy Kavanagh and Behan and the rest of them are now.
		It should be remembered that Cronin acts as a kind of poet in residence for the Sunday Indo so the type of praise he's getting from Brendan O'Connor is of the variety that they normally reserve for the few who would lower themselves to writing in what is essentially little more than corrosive toilet paper.
		I don't doubt Anthony Cronin can write but he and most other English language poets are, in my humble opinion, only trotting after the best of the Irish language poets, the likes of Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Michael Davitt and co.

	Film \| Beckett goes to Hollywood
		Though, as Anthony Cronin puts it in his Beckett biography, The Last Modernist, there was an 'obvious affinity between the expressionless, enigmatic actor and the expressionless, enigmatic writer', their initial meeting was an unmitigated disaster.
		Cronin takes up the story: 'Beckett, finding himself in the unusual position of having to make the running, ventured a few general words about his admiration for Keaton's work.
		Anthony Minghella was also drawn to the idea of Beckett's work reaching a wider, newer audience through the medium of film.

	THE BLANKET * Index: Current Articles
		What I noted most of all was how Cronin, through scouring Beckett's records, depicts an author doggedly crippled by maladies mostly psychosomatic, by imagined fears, by phobias befitting indeed his future characters.
		But, for anyone needing an excellent précis of what Beckett achieved, chapters 23 and 24 in my estimation serve as a thoughtful and by no means uncritical survey of how Beckett set up scaffolds, erected his plots, and then demolished as much of the structure as the work could stand and still survive.
		For Cronin, Beckett's less a secular saint than a hypochondriacal mum's boy who, after coddling and a preparation for respectability, lived the life of the Irish exile (who kept decamping to London and even Dublin often enough) and finally had to grow up, support himself, and push his resources to plumb the darkness within.

	Colm Tóibín
		Cronin was fully aware that, at the time of writing, heroism ‘pure and undefiled’ was ‘at a low rate of discount’, as was Romanticism; and martyrdom was ‘a joke in poor taste’.
		Cronin insisted that Emmet at twenty-four was ‘at the head of what in hard fact did very nearly become a mass movement of daunting proportions, with a fair chance of success’.
		The post-revisionist line on Emmet, begun by Anthony Cronin in 1978 and offered with rich detail in the books by Ruan O’Donnell and Patrick M. Geoghegan, is nonetheless an interesting one.

	Samuel Beckett and Anthony Burgess
		Anthony Burgess, on the other hand, did have a large personal collection of books, and many of them are now housed in the library of Angers University.
		His novels, like all important works of art, have the stamp of the inevitable upon them: they had to be written and, though we suffer reading them, we are glad they have been written.
		The pun - ants, according to Willie, lay their eggs after indulging in 'formication' - is indeed rather feeble, quite deliberately so, but it amused Burgess enough for him to use the word in a book published a couple of years later.

	No Laughing Matter
		n ''No Laughing Matter,'' Anthony Cronin chronicles the life of Brian O'Nolan, one of the most original Irish writers in the generation after James Joyce.
		Cronin, who knew O'Nolan, provides an insider's look as well as a critical perspective on the conflicts of personality and politics that lay behind the masks, and shows how a culture not only feeds but can destroy an artist.
		As Cronin shows, these conflicts provided much of the fodder for his talent at expressing the funny gap between language and reality, particularly as it exists in Ireland.

		Cronin, a friend, has used his prodigious talents for research, critical prowess, and personal knowledge to create what must stand as the best examination of Beckett's life yet produced.
		Cronin makes the point that Beckett's liaisons with the opposite sex are clues to the writer's legendary arm's-length attitude toward humankind.
		Of Beckett's biographer, Anthony Burgess once commented that Anthony Cronin "could not write a dull line if he tried." This wonderful and absorbing biography testifies to the accuracy of the Burgess assessment.

		Cronin stood in for Stephen Dedalus, O'Nolan for his father Simon Dedalus, John Ryan for the journalist Martin Cunningham, and A.J. Leventhal, the Registrar of Trinity College, being Jewish, was recruited to fill (unknown to himself according to Tom Ryan) the role of Leopold Bloom.
