The Last Century Boy

The Last Century Boy has over 14 chapters to choose from. Some are off the wall, with laughter, sadness and thrillers & fun-packed stories for everyone. Most of these stories are true and there are some tall tales in there as well, adding a little humour. Seven years ago, the author became unwell and was unable to function for a considerable amount of time. There's only so much TV and Facebook you can watch. During this time he started to write poems and short stories, including this publication, as his concentration was severely hampered. This is a book about growing up in rural Ireland, the educational system (or lack thereof), the Catholic Church and its grip on society. It is also a social and cultural history of the 60s & 70s in Ireland. It is also a book that informs the readers through life as someone that suffers from ADHD and dyslexia.
