Description
BARRELHOUSE KINGS is the unique story of two Canadian writers, each well-known in his own way: Morley Callaghan and his son, Barry Callaghan. It is a stunningly written recollection of the world in which Barry Callaghan grew up—the world that was Morley’s milieu as a writer and became Barry’s as their lives dovetailed. Peopled with many unforgettable characters, this is an autobiography that will stand the test of time.
