Feckless, unwashed, charming, penurious Sebastian Balfe Dangerfield, Trinity College Law student, Irish American with an English Accent, maroon in the ould country and dreaming of dollars and ready women, stumbles from the public house to the pawnbrokers, murmuring delusive enticements in the ear of any girl who'll listen, in delirious search of freedom, wealth, and the recognition he feels is his due. Lyrical and ribald, illuminating, poignant and hugely entertaining, The Ginger Man is a work of authentic comic genius.

I found this book painful to read. Sebastian is good for nothing and lacks any redeeming qualities. I kept wishing he would go investigate a noise in the hold.

This one rolls in at #99 on the Best 100 list...and I loved every last sentence of it.
