reviewed The Life of a Long-Distance Writer: The Biography of Alan Sillitoe on July 13, 2018 The Life of a Long-Distance Writer: The Biography of Alan Sillitoe
Literary merit set aside, W.B. Yeats has to be one of the greatest oddballs of Irish cultural history.
A firm believer in the supernatural, he blindly obeyed the commands and wishes of his wife George when she acted as a medium and transcribed 'dead souls'utterings'(the so-called 'automatic writing').
He opposed the democratic system (the vulgarity of the ballot voting) and actively supported the fascist 'blueshirt' movement in Ireland.
Genetic arrogance was also his part as he flirted with eugenics in the 1930s.
Well in his seventies, he had surgery in order to keep fit for his 'physical pleasures', which really turned him into a laughing stock in Ireland and London.
Surrounded by so many women (nurses, really), he was terrified of being left alone in a foreign country without knowing the language.
Amazing that such a fool was able to produce such wonderful poetry. Great biography by Maddox.
