The "enfant terrible" of Irish journalism is back, with a remarkable book that explores the dark and dangerous currents in which artists, celebrities, musicians, writers and politicos alike - including the author himself - are wont to swim. And sometimes drown . . . In a series of memorable face to face encounters, Olaf Tyaransen brings out the best - and occasionally the worst - in some of the most high profile names in popular culture. Here are the celebrated interviews, which delighted, angered, caused a sensation and, almost invariably, made the headlines. The road of excess takes many routes - from the recreational to the political - but in the hands of Olaf Tyaransen they all end up in the Palace Of Wisdom.
