- catalog abstract ""The Photograph sets out to retrace the stories of four men: Henry Caslin, former dance hall owner and later Taoiseach of the Irish Republic; Jimmy Mimnagh, ruthless businessman, failed politician, hopeless drunkard; Seamus McKeon, a successful journalist and TV personality; and finally Father Gerry Lee, a priest with a predilection for very young children and strong links to the IRA. Sweeney draws his portraits convincingly and with great poignancy, tracing the four men from their humble beginnings through four decades of public and private life. An extraordinarily rich narrative immerges, in which the personal stories of the central characters and the larger issues of Irish National politics and identity are woven together to show the brutality and the tenderness, the ambiguities and the certainties, the comedy and the tragedy of half a century of Irish life."--Jacket.".
