[ePub] Psychoanalysis and the Artistic Endeavor: Conversations with literary and visual artists (Psychoanalysis in a New Key Book Series) by Lois Oppenheim at Arts-Photography

Description

Barney McKenna; lsquo;Banjo Barney from Donnycarneyrsquo;; was one of the founder members of the Dubliners. But he was also famous for another reason: he was capable of bringing any conversation to a sudden stop by uttering something so completely unexpected as to reduce everyone present to bemused silence. An Obstacle Confusion is a collection of stories about Barney and his lsquo;Barneyismsrsquo;. It was compiled by the late Jim McCann; a former member of the Dubliners; and illustrated by Wendy Shea; a long-time friend of Barney. These wonderful flights of fancy are must-reads for Dubliners fans; young and old. * The Dubliners were travelling through a wine-growing region in southern Germany and had stopped at a scenic restaurant with a wonderful view over the vine-covered hills and valleys. They stood outside; gazing at the breathtaking; sun-dappled panorama; an occasional medieval castle peeking through the mist-shrouded trees; and basked in the beauty of the idyllic scene. Barney eventually broke the reverential silence. ldquo;Jaysus;rdquo; he said; ldquo;therersquo;s a fair few hangovers growinrsquo; up there.rdquo;
