Kilroy is nothing if not unrelentingly honest in his work and in his person. He doesn't boast about this in the book, but it emphasises the deep quality of his observations, in which the eye is a vital element. -- Richard Pine * The Independent * Written in an affable tone and straightforward style, Over the Backyard Wall will perhaps strike many readers as a thoroughly agreeable account of the early life and times of arguably the least well-known of that generation of Irish playwrights. * Estudios Irlandeses *
