Negative Positive
Title: The Destinies of Darcy Dancer Gentleman
Review: This was the second Donleavy novel I read back in 1980. Since then I have read all of his novels and biographies. This book is also the reason that i stayed at the Shelbourne Hotel.Full of gratuitous sex, violence drunken ribaldry, indeed it is almost a training manual for students.It opens the door to positive thinking and instils in one that when things are really bad, they are not as bad as they are going to get, but never give up.Learn negotiating skills, if a fist in the gob doesn't work, buy your man a drink.Sex education, from aristocrats, whores, artists, teachers, plebean masses.In all an excellent life changing book in which Donleavy displays true comic genius and has caused me hours of laughter.
