| | As I Was Going Down Sackville Street : A Phantasy in Fact - Gogarty, Oliver St. John |
 | | Gogarty was, of course, a very popular Dubliner in the early 20th century, one of those larger-than-life individuals, and the model for Joyce's 'Stately, plump Buck Mulligan.' |
 | | Doctor, Senator, wit and man of letters, the one and only Gogarty here presents an amazing combination of memoirs, fierce and witty commentary and sheer mad imagery, portraying Dublin, Irish and English life as he has known them. |
 | | The truth is that Gogarty, like his own misty city of Dublin, is an authentic child of the eighteenth century, with all its contradictions, its wit, its extravagance and its continuous fascination. |
