Description

Over the Backyard Wall by Thomas Kilroy is a memoir that emerged from a cataract operation in 2006, sparking a vivid and introspective account of his past. The book recounts Kilroy's coming-of-age story, marked by escape, self-discovery, and navigating the complexities of small-town life during WWII. His experiences are woven with encounters with fellow artists and writers, including those he met while touring the southern US states in the 1950s. Through this narrative, Kilroy explores the silences of the past to liberate his imagination, using social and political history to illuminate the fragmented nature of his own memory.
