A Kick Against The Pricks

David Norris

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mai 2013

The author is one of Ireland's most popular and charismatic public figures. Not a man to shy away from controversy, he has spent most of his adult life challenging the establishment, whether as a leading campaigner for gay rights, or, since 1987, a fiercely independent Senator and outspoken defender of human rights. This title tells his story.

"Norris has added immeasurably to our public life. . Norris's memoir is excellent . He gives us a complete picture, in a fluent and highly readable account. . raises important questions, such as the power of the media . The good senator is redeemed by his bravery and wit." -- Eamonn Delaney Irish Independent "Norris emerges in these pages as a figure who feels a passionate engagement with the world and is in possession of great moral seriousness. He is also very funny. . A Kick Against the Pricks is more than the account of an interesting life well lived. . He wishes to speak up for the idea of a life led by conscience, a life that made a difference to the world. . His autobiography is .a way of suggesting and evoking what a lone voice can do by remaining fearless and dutiful, by speaking up again and again, by learning to fail better, by losing neither a sense of humour nor a sense of purpose nor the skill, displayed with relish in this book, of taking real pleasure from life." -- Colm Toibin The Irish Times "Much like the man himself, it's a witty, erudite, entertaining and provocative read." -- Olaf Tyransen Hot Press
