This is the story of the author who so enraged his Westmeath rural Irish neighbors with his novel, The Valley of the Squinting Windows, that the book was publicly burned, its author humiliated, and his father, a local schoolteacher, driven into exile. A fascinating study of mass censorship at its worst.
