Why did they call Glenn Gannon the ‘miracle man’? Because, unlike most of his contemporaries, Glenn survived an avalanche of adversity in a rollercoaster life and emerged to become a playwright, composer and actor on the silver screen. This amazing memoir, a cocktail of human horror laced with humour, sees Glenn eventually triumph against all the odds. It is a modern parable for the marginalised, a story full of hope, spirit and compassion told in a beautiful lyrical style.
