The Ginger Man is the story of Sebastian Dangerfield and his adventures through Dublin. Dangerfield is an appealing character that has many devious habits, drawing the reader into the novel. The book deserves to be on the Top 100 Books of the 20th Century because it shows a raw lifestyle, uncensored in every approach. Although the book had difficulty being published, J.P. Donleavy was able to stand by his work and ultimately be the author of a successful novel. J.P. Donleavy's life is reflected in the novel through education, culture and beliefs. The Ginger Man was not one of my favorite books, but nonetheless contains a unique protagonist within a humorous story. EAM
