Book Synopsis Walking With Ghosts by : Gabriel Byrne

Download or read book Walking With Ghosts written by Gabriel Byrne and published by Picador. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In vivid, melodic prose, Gabriel revisits his childhood in Ireland, a world that has long since been renovated by time, and juxtaposes these memories with scenes from later years, in which he develops and occupies that strange identity of movie star. Impressionistic and sensual, Byrne's visions of home, of boyhood and adolescence, are gracefully interspersed with jump-cuts to pointedly unglamorous scenes from his life as he becomes an actor, as he becomes celebrated, as he becomes forever recognizable. Byrne is interested in exploring the pathos in what it means to be famous, in what it means to be praised when everything you’ve learned tells you that are not worthy of praise.
