Tom McCarthy
Biography
I was fifty six years old when I first heard of the readings at The White House bar in O’Connell St, Limerick. When I submitted my name to read there for the first time Mr Barney Sheehan and Dominic Taylor welcomed me with open arms. That was eleven years ago and my memoir Susie’s Son is my first real publication. Reading at the White House each week and at the ‘On the Nail’ Literary Gathering in The Locke Bar once a month has broadened my horizons on writing, reciting and performing poetry. My achievements to date are minimal but the satisfaction is enormous.

Susie's Son is the first book from Tom McCarthy. It is a memoir in prose and poetry of his early days growing up in Limerick, Ireland. It tells not only of his childhood years, but the childhood years of many children that were born into the forties. It is a time travelling journey to a Limerick and a world unrecognisable from today’s viewpoint.
