Originally published in France in 1955, The Ginger Man is the humorous National Book Award-winning picaresque novel by Irish-American author J.P Donleavy. Set in post-war Dublin in 1947, the story follows the episodic misadventures of Sebastian Dangerfield, an irresponsible young American studying at Trinity College in the Irish capital. As Dangerfield skips his studies, hides from bill-collectors, drinks and womanizes excessively, the charming but reprehensible rogue does everything in his power to avoid a lifetime of hard work.
