About

Set in Dublin, Ireland, in the post-war year of 1947, this novel tells the story of a group of college students at Trinity College. Written by Irish-American author J. P. Donleavy (whose own background may have formed the basis for the setting), the novel faced censorship and banning in both Ireland and the United States.
