Title: chronic debauchery with no redeeming moment
Review: Despite the wonderfully colorful, brilliantly whimsical prose, this book was frustrating. I read on and on, enduring the sad path of chronic alcoholism and eggregiously amoral behavior, waiting hopefully for Malachy to reflect some insight or remorse, but it never happens. He must have had friends who tried to intercept this destructive behavior but they are not mentioned. He never brings us up to the present time.
