"The McCourt family gained fame and notoriety through the books of brothers Frank and Malachy, and in the two popular documentaries that followed. In A Long Stone's Throw, the youngest brother, Alphie, adds his gifted voice to this literary chorus with a vivid, emotional memoir that begins in Limerick, Ireland. Like his brothers, Alphie details his escape from a miserable childhood in Limerick to the U.S., where the Irish curse, aimless jobs, women, the Army and business ventures lead him to steady ground in, of all places, New York City."--BOOK JACKET.

Merle Turner is a retired academic with a background in Experimental Psychology and the Philosophy of Science. If called upon to append a label to himself he would reach into literary tradition to style himself a "romantic realist." i.e. the admixture of invention and realism. When asked if there is a single theme that might percolate through his stories, he responded that "ventures into quandary" might come close. He is the author of Psychology and the Philosophy of Science, Philosophy and the Science of Behavior, Realism and the Explanation of Behavior, and in his search for romance, Celestial for the Cruising Navigator. Other publications include two collections of Quatroons (quatrains illustrated by a cartoon).
