Description
A Monk Swimming by Malachy McCourt is a memoir that offers an unapologetic look at the life of its author. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Limerick, McCourt recounts his tumultuous journey from his early days as a young man to his later years as a successful actor and entrepreneur.
From selling Bibles on Fire Island to owning a singles' bar in New York, McCourt's life has been marked by both high highs and low lows. With his gifts of gab and conviviality, he entertained a voracious public on the stage and was a semi-regular on the Tonight Show with Jack Paar.
Now, reflecting on the past 25 years since writing A Monk Swimming, McCourt shares his story in all its glory. His memoir is a laugh-out-loud account of a life lived to the fullest, full of language and storytelling that will leave readers in stitches.
