I'm filled with admiration for what you've achieved, and particularly for the hard work and the 'cottage industry' aspect of it.

Extravagant StrangerA MemoirDaniel Roy Connelly![]()
Categories: 21st Century, Little Island Press, Memoirs
Imprint: Little Island Press Publisher: Carcanet Press Available as: Hardback (104 pages) (Pub. Jul 2017) 9780993505683 Out of Stock
Ian Fleming’s Bond meets the lyricism of Rimbaud in this fast-paced, genre-defying debut, encompassing six decades and three continents of absurd and often life-threatening experience. At once personal and hauntingly universal, Extravagant Stranger is the compelling memoir of self-professed ‘global scalliwag’ Daniel Roy Connelly – former diplomat, theatre director, Shakespeare scholar and conscience-stricken father. Laced with international intrigue and hilarious moments of well-aimed self-scrutiny, here is a book – like the life it relates – truly without comparison.
