I'm acquainted with much of Donleavy's work, and of all of his novels, this is surely the wildest. It pulls no punches in terms of bawdiness and outright obscenity, but it is done in such a manner that it seems almost prudish. A man inherits a castle on the west coast of Ireland, and no sooner does he arrive than a bizarre assortment of visitors set up shop there, conducting all manner of bizarre activities and experiments. This is one of the funniest, laugh out loud, wickedest books you will ever read. It is hysterical. Men are "pranging" women, fights are breaking out, there is drinking and fornicating galore, but it is presented in such an amusing manner that it never offends. There is even an incident in which, out of spite, someone drops his trousers and defecates on someone else's apartment floor -- I mean, this is wild. You will be in hysterics. Wickedly satirical, Donleavy has a way of writing in clipped phrases, almost in a passive voice, and with such a touch of mischievous elegance that he doesn't offend. As wild and hilarious as this book is, and it is by far his funniest work, I still have a special fondness for "A Singular Man," in which the protagonist receives a series of short, vaguely threatening yet whimsically amusing letters throughout.
