"'Every household in Ireland should have a copy of this magical book. I am indulging in no idle hyperbole when I say that this autobiography is one of the most remarkable autobiographies I have ever read in my entire life.' - PAUL DURCAN 'In Nostos Moriarty has surpassed all his previous achievements. Because it is in the recording of his life, that his passionate imagination finally makes sense, and here he has recorded his life expansively and clearly and movingly. It is written in exquisite Irish - English, it's a unique voice, and it sings through in every page of a beautifully made book.' - MICHAEL HARDING, Sunday Tribune 'Here is a larger-than-life book from a larger-than-life life. The autobiography becomes a treasure trove of quotations, of poems and stories, of myths and legends, all tending towards an understanding of where we come from, who we are, and where we ought to be going. The patient reader of this book will warm to a generous spirit, to a mind and body devoted to healing the ills of the present by pointing to the past. The dull and dulling events of the life of a man intent on understanding are brought alive in this huge achievement in such a way that will move you with a belief that humanity has a meaning and relevance that can yet beautify our egotistical and polluted world.' - JOHN F. DEANE, Irish Independent"
