Extravagant stranger - Daniel Roy Connelly

Ian Fleming's Bond meets the lyricism of Rimbaud in this fast-paced, genre-defying debut, encompassing six decades and three continents of absurd and often life-threatening experience. At once personal and hauntingly universal, Extravagant Strangeris the compelling memoir of self-professed "global scalliwag" Daniel Roy Connelly - former diplomat, theatre director, Shakespeare scholar and conscience-stricken father. Laced with international intrigue and hilarious moments of well-aimed self-scrutiny, here is a book - like the life it relates - truly without comparison.
