WALKING WITH GHOSTS

Irish actor Gabriel Byrne's smoky voice whispers in your ear, gets into your head, and takes you on a deeply personal journey into his life. Byrne is brutally honest and down-to-earth as he explores the people and events that made him who he is today. In gorgeous writing that feels like stream-of-consciousness poetry, he reveals his attraction to the rituals of the Church in all its theatricality; his desire to become a priest--until he was molested by a priest; the assortment of menial jobs he undertook before joining an amateur theatrical group, finding his way into acting; and his struggle with addiction. After forty-plus years of a successful film and television career, it's not surprising that his performance of this memorable autobiography is outstanding. S.J.H.
