Critics Review
A compelling memoir. Absorbing and graced with a deceptive lightness of touch … Harding writes like an angel
Searingly honest, funny, self-deprecating, Harding’s narrative seems to rest on the pulse of Ireland - Irish Times on On Tuesdays I’m a Buddhist
A compelling memoir. Absorbing and graced with a deceptive lightness of touch … Harding writes like an angel - Sunday Times on Hanging with the ElephantHilarious, and tender, and mad, and harrowing, and wistful, and always beautifully written. A wonderful book - Kevin Barry on Staring at LakesWonderful … Like many people who have achieved a great deal, [Harding] cannot recognise his triumphs. This book, like its predecessor, is one of them - John Boyne on Hanging with the ElephantA book that champions the kindness (or at least company) of strangers as essential for that elusive state known as happiness - RTE Guide on Talking to StrangersAbout The Author
