Told in Carrs immediate, entertaining style, Pure Gold is a portal to a time before practised TV chat show performances and the churn of social media sound bites, providing honest and sometimes introspective insights into the private lives of global stars and national treasures, such as Jack Charlton, Eartha Kitt, Shane MacGowan and Malcolm McLaren.</p><p>A natural raconteur, Carr soon discovered that people were eager to share their stories with him, from J.P. Donleavys accounts of his mercurial friendship with Brendan Behan to Brenda Frickers memories of delivering her acceptance speech when she became the first Irish woman ever to win an Oscar.</p><p>Almost cinematic in his descriptions, Carrs conversations with this cast of luminaries are searingly honest, irreverent and profound, highlighting the humanity that unites us all. <em>Pure Gold</em> is a treasure trove of interviews that will remain with the reader long after the book is closed.</p>...7140654Pure Gold273287https://www.gandhi.com.mx/pure-gold-9781785375576/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7130554/image.jpg?v=638828738473400000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2025Inglés
