1917. Stricken with polio at the age of
four, he spent much of his childhood in hospitals. There he began an intensive reading of history and ultimately the
great literature which were the seeds of his fascination with the past and his acknowledged
fine craftsmanship as a writer.
"An author," Joseph Meagher has said, "must enchant to
win, never forgetting that dullness is a fifth cousin of death." Critics have praised him as a genuine
storyteller and compared him to a kind of modern Dickens. His previous novels, published here and abroad,
include THROUGH MIDNIGHT STREETS, TIPPY LOCKLIN and THE TENEMENT OF
DREAMS, followed by his recently published memoir, BROKEN YESTERDAYS.lihat lebih sedikit
