Books by Ulick O'Connor

Ulick O'Connor's books include Oliver St John Gogarty, Brendan Behan and the much-praised Celtic Dawn, a portrait of the Irish literary renaissance. His one-man shows have been staged at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin and in Britain, Europe and the United States. His Irish Civil War play Execution was described by the Evening Standard as 'dynamite', his play Joycity by the New York Times as 'supreme', and his translation of Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du mal was hailed by a President of the French Academy as 'the best so far, a recreation of a new poem'. He is an authority on the Japanese Noh play and a keen social observer, and has been a champion boxer, a record-breaking pole-vaulter and a first-class rugby player. He lives in Dublin.
