Publisher's Synopsis
Kerryman Con Houlihan, who in his time has been a fisherman, a turf cutter and a rugby player, is now best known as one of Ireland's finest journalists. 'In So Many Words' gathers together some outstanding examples of his work over the years. Although, as would be expected, he writes knowledgeably on a range of sports, from Gaelic football and hurling to boxing and cricket, Con is also well known as a cultural commentator, and here he gives his impressions of famous authors and artists as well as his views on various feats in the sporting arena over the years. This collection is a treasure trove of insights into all aspects of human life. It is a book of wit and wisdom to dip into and enjoy.
