...Dublin in 1901, went to sea at the age of 13, joined the Army during the War, has worked as a stoker, cook, butcher, clerk, postman, and has been a centre of critical controversy since he began to write. His grim short stories, Men in Darkness, and his novel, Boy, won praise from the late Colonel T. E.
