LIAM O'FLAHERTY [1896-1984]Born on Inismore on the Aran Islands, O'Flaherty was the ninth child of a small farmer with 15 acres of stony ground. He showed great promise at school, and was given scholarships to Rockwell and Blackrock College. He completed one year at University College Dublin, initially as a seminarian, but in 1915 became bored and joined the Irish Guards, using his mother's name. He served in France on the Somme, where he suffered shell-shock. He was discharged in 1917 and returned home to convalesce. He had become interested in left wing politics, and in 1921, back in Dublin, he led a group of dockers who seized the Rotunda and hoisted a red flag. During the Civil War he joined the Republican side for a time, before going to London to write.He established himself as a writer with the help and encouragement of Edward Garnett, reader for Jonathan Cape publishers in London, who noticed an early story in a socialist weekly. On Garnett's recommendation, Cape published O'Flaherty's first novel Thy Neighbour's Wife in 1923, and he never looked back._____________________________________________________________________________With Signed InscriptionO'Flaherty (Liam) I Went to Russia, 8vo L.
