Broschiertes Buch

Intimacy with Strangers

A Life of Brief Encounters

Beschreibung

Through chains of happenstance and six-degrees-of-separation, Intimacy with Strangers mirrors the cinematic cuts, fades and dissolves of its author's sensibility as film critic and writer. By creating this magical memoir, Ciaran Carty offers an idiosyncratic portrait of a kaleidoscopic Ireland in a global setting.

Autor

Since incurring the wrath of his first editor in 1960 by making Hitchcock's Psycho his film of the year, veteran cineast CIARAN CARTYhas consistently championed the arts, developing a career as one of Ireland's leading critics and broadcasters. He was deputy editor of The Sunday Independent (1961-65) before becoming arts editor for The Sunday Tribune (1985-2011). Since 1988 he has edited the New Irish Writing page for both the Tribune and the Irish Independent, and is curator of the prestigious annual Hennessy Literary Awards. He is the author of Confessions of a Sewer Rat (1995), a two-volume biography of the artist Robert Ballagh (1985, 2011), and has co-edited, with Dermot Bolger, two anthologies of Hennessy fiction (1995, 2006). A sequel to this book, Off the Map, A Geography of Other Minds, will be published by Lilliput in 2014.
