Product Description
Pat Tierney was one of the dispossessed - abandoned by his mother, his foster parents and, ultimately, by his country. In the US he was to meet his nemesis, in the form of the HIV virus, at the end of a contaminated needle during a brief flirtation with intravenous drugs.
The unhappy facts of his life neglect, abuse, life in institutions, sleeping rough, petty crime, emigration, infection were set down in an autobiography The Moon On My Back, in which the moon represents the past that threatens to flatten the fleeting pleasures of the present.
