"Superb"-Denis Donoghue, New York University "Synge was a mass of contradictions, skillfully dissected in W. J. McCormack's definitive new biography. "Fool of the Family" is a magnificent labor of scholarship, which draws on much unpublished material to present a superbly rounded portrait."-Terry Eagleton, "Independent" "Synge was like Frank McCourt of today but in more delicate circumstances, and he was a much greater, more original writer. . . . McCormack's biography, written in his distinctive, elegant style is refreshing and invigorating, a literary tour de force."-"Daily Telegraph", "Well-researched and insightful. . . . At times it is beautifully gripping."-"Sunday Telegraph",
