In Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know, Colm Tóibín brings to light the complex relationships between three of Ireland’s greatest writers, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats and James Joyce and their fathers. A doctor, an impoverished artist and a singer, drinker and story-teller, Tóibín details aspects of these writers’ fathers and the interesting ways they feature in famous writings.
