John Hewitt's autobiography charts his life in Northern Ireland from his early years until his 'enforced exile' in Coventry in 1957. It details his career in the Belfast Museum and Art Gallery; his maverick political views on his homeland, the evolution of his critical and literary thinking, and his quest for identity and creative space.
