{"product_id":"9780060195939","title":"Singing My Him Song","description":"\"Read it and weep: They don't make lives like this anymore,\" hailed the \u003ci\u003eIrish Voice\u003c\/i\u003e of \u003ci\u003e A Monk Swimming.\u003c\/i\u003e Indeed, that exuberant self-portrait, which overflowed with both hilarious and bittersweet anecdotes, paid tribute to the joys of a freewheeling life—and made Malachy McCourt one of the world's most irresistible rascals. \u003cp\u003eWhen we last saw Malachy McCourt in 1963, he was lost, his family gone, his life in chaos. In \u003ci\u003e Singing My Him Song\u003c\/i\u003e, Malachy shares his new adventures and a career that took him to radio, television, movies, and politics. He meets Diana, the woman who has remained his wife and partner to this day. He battles and ultimately triumphs over the bottle. He explores a spirituality that leads him to become a real father and a real son; he was there for his children as they grew, and he was there for his mother, Angela, in her final days, in a way he couldn't have been before. And he confronts his own mortality when he is diagnosed with cancer in 1998. Darkly comic with his ever-inventive use of language, \u003ci\u003eSinging My Him Song\u003c\/i\u003e rounds out an uncommon life of \"a master raconteur\" (Houston Chronicle).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007750226160,"sku":"9780060195939","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780060195939_p0.gif?v=1763619165","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780060195939","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
