- Literature, Revolutionaries in fiction, Revolutionaries, Young men in fiction
The triumphant conclusion to the trilogy that began with A Star Called Henry Roddy Doyle's irrepressible Irish rebel Henry Smart is back-and he is not mellowing with age. Saved from death in California's Monument Valley by none other than Henry Fonda, he ends up in Hollywood collaborating with legendary director John Ford on a script based on his life.
