• Resumen

  • For the collected edition of his plays, first published in 1972, J. P. Donleavy presented a long, and memorable, dedication that displayed the licence that writers could by then presume to enjoy. �To all those fuckpigs of multiplicities who have attempted to molest and denigrate these plays� he triumphantly declares, �who tried to stop or shift them off the stage, who used them unfairly as steps to stardom and bigger contracts, who panned them, who hated them, who coughed during the tender moments, who left before the final curtain, or came late for the first, and not least, to those who don�t know they exist, I hereby dedicate the contents which still bring me and mine so much gold�.
