Product Description
A fascinating look into the life of one of Hollywood's hottest film stars.

For twenty years Gabriel Byrne has been to the forefront of Irish actors and producers internationally. From his appearance in John Boorman's Excalibur in 1981 via Miller's Crossing in 1990 through to Stigmata and End of Days in 1999 and 2000 he has turned his diverse skills and brooding good looks to many different roles.

With Stigmata and End of Days, his appearance on Broadway and the new NBC sitcom, Madigan's Men, which he produced and in which he stars he has hit a new high point in his career.

In vivid cinematic sketches this absorbing memoir presents a series of fascinating glimpses into his public and private life. He leads the reader through his career on stage and screen as both producer and actor. Along the way he shares his impressions of Hollywood, New York and his native Ireland and takes us behind the scenes of his many films.

He has worked with many of the cutting edge directors of international cinema including Jim Jarmusch, Wim Wenders and the Coen bothers and with many of the finest actors of the late twentieth century-Liam Neeson, Kevin Spacey, Gerard Depardieu, John Turturro, Winona Ryder, Susan Sarandon and Christina Ricci to name a few.

Gabriel Byrne's unique narrative style colors every page, mixing colloquial dialogue with evocative descriptions. The result is a frank, intimate account that reveals the man-and the writer-behind the actor's many faces. ... Read more

Mr. Byrne needs to write another Bio
This is a good book if you'd like to know something about who Gabriel Byrne was a long time ago. It's not greatly detailed, but it hits on things that he thinks about and wants you to know about (meaning: he doesn't tell you about all of the skeletons/dirt in his closet). I can appreciate that he doesn't want to tell everyone about what was going on during this particular time in his life. If you know anything about his personal life you can figure it out.
Whatever brought him to America, (Ellen Barkin when they met while filming "Siesta") thank goodness for that.He's a great actor, I think he has a career as a novelist if he wants one, and I love that he's back in the spotlight on "In Treatment".
An updated, recent bio would probably be a fantastic read, so hopefully he'll do that someday.

Charm and humor told with wit and warmth...
Because I had written a few blog entries complaining about the popularity of the my-horrible-childhood genre of books someone suggested I read this book. I knew Byrne as an actor but little else about him but his skill as a writer and a storyteller is equally evident. The story of his growing up years in Dublin is charming and told with affection and humor --- such a refreshing change from other recent books about Irish childhoods! Byrne's youth was neither better nor worse than other such stories but the warmth of his narration made the story so much more believable.

His stories about his beginnings as an actor, his anecdotes about his fellow actors, and his love of the people of Ireland is told with wit, amusement and a tenderness that allows the reader to see into the lives of others through the eyes of someone who seems a genuinely warm and loving person --- not something often found in Hollywood memoirs. I particularly loved the little vignettes of his fellow actors including Liam Neeson, Michael Cain (whose mother couldn't understand why no one hung out laundry in Hollywood), and his ex-wife Ellen Barkin. In fact, I was so charmed by the quality of the narration that I bought the audio book just so I could hear his lovely Irish brogue as he told the stories. What a treat that was! He has a gift for narration that made me think I was actually listening to Richard Burton, the cast of "The Quiet Man", and one utterly lovely story told in the voice of a "tinker", one of the traveling people of Ireland.

This is a beautiful, warm collection of stories told with affection and humor that gives the reader insight into a world few of us get to see and even more insight into the character of a genuinely loving and admirable writer.

A compelling triump
"Pictures in My Head" demonstrates Gabriel Byrne's uncanny ability to convey the essence of time and place with an economy of words.This slim volume of vignettes from Mr. Byrne's life transports the reader from his early childhood through his success in Hollywood as an adult until 1995.

Mr. Byrne's writing is unique and lyrical.His style of writing mimics the disjointed, natural flow of internal thinking, jumping from one fragment of an idea to another.For that reason, in addition to vocabulary and cultural references unfamiliar to the American reader, the text is sometimes difficult to digest upon first reading.Many passages require a second pass, but upon re-reading I found myself effectively transported into Mr. Byrne's world.The title of the book "Pictures in My Head" perfectly embodies the essence of what this book is about.

The stories from the early part of Mr. Byrne's life are particularly enthralling.The retelling of events of his early childhood in Ireland include incredible detail.Mr. Byrnehas the rare talent of recalling small details that most people wouldn't notice, much less recall.Rarer still is his ability to then take those small details, recount them and essentially capture a moment with words.However, I agree with another reviewer who found the second half of the book less satisfying.In addition to seeming a bit more rushed, Mr. Byrne's desire to protect the privacy of his friends, family and himself in the second half of the book unfortunately hinders his ability to write with the same freedom and compelling detail that made the first half of the book so captivating.

Despite this criticism, the same honesty, intelligence and sensitivity that contribute to Mr. Byrne'ssuccess as an actor translates well into his foray as an author."Pictures in My Head" is a compelling triumph.Gabriel Byrne's capacity for conveying the beauty and poignancy of life as a human being is remarkably gripping.I sincerely hope Mr. Byrne will continue to write.

Nice, But Lacking
This is a very sweet book, written by a wonderful actor. Sadly, it lacks a few things. Details, for one. It's very good in some places, and then it seems to rush on when you want to know more. And it jumps around like "Pride and Prejudice"...I had a hard time keeping track of where he was in his life.

All in all, it's a nice story. However, if you read this and "Angela's Ashes" right tight together, you realize something. You realize that even though you thought at first that Gabriel had it kind of bad growing up, he is almost a spoiled little rich kid, compared to Frank McCourt. Let's see some real life, here!

Vivid
I get the impression that Mr. Byrne is superbly sensitive to his surroundings and absorbs everything. I envy his photographic memory and ability to live completely in the moment. :o) This is the perfect book to curl up with under your favorite green soft blanket. ... Read more

Worthwhile Profile of Hollywood's Leading Irishmen
_Hollywood Irish_ is a fantastic collection of interviews and photographs of six handsome and talented actors: Gabriel Byrne, Liam Neeson, Stephen Rea, Pierce Brosnan, Aidan Quinn and Patrick Bergin. The simple introduction provided by Áine O'Connor sets the mood for the rest of the book well. As she mentions, the interviews do reveal insightful, private information: "Liam Neeson reveals how he considered leaving acting and how he found the confidence to continue; Pierce Brosnan, simply and openly, shares the painful story of his wife Cassie's death; Stephen Rea discusses the relationship between acting and politics; Aidan Quinn talks about the Irish identity and its many paradoxes; Patrick Bergin reveals the temptations of an actor's life and the difficulties of doing love scenes; Gabriel Byrne tells us about the risks and illusions that surround fame." In a nutshell, that's the book. Each actor discusses his beginnings, both in life and as an actor. Each discusses, in some capacity, how being Irish has impacted him. Each actor's profile comes with several b/w photos from childhood, movies and family collections. At the end, one can find each actor's filmography. The only complaint I would have regarding the book is that the material is dated (only current to 1997) and I wish an updated version could be compiled. That criticism aside, though, this is certainly a title worth owning.

Insightful interviews.
Aine O'Conner manage to capture the cadences of the various actors very well.While reading the text, I could almost hear the men speaking their words.I suspect that she didn't edit the tapes very much, save for verbal pauses (the usual "uhs" and "you knows") and forlength.Ms. O'Conner also included several photographs (many were candid)that were sprinkled throughout the various sections.

While Ms. O'Connerasked many insightful questions, she didn't follow through on many. Indeed, at times I was a little disappointed that she failed to follow upon specific points; however, that point is trivial compared to the overalleffort of the book.

If you are a fan of any or all of the actors listed,or simply are curious to see how contemporary Irish actors are dealing withthe joys and disappointments of Hollywood, then you should enjoy this book.

Great Look at the Lives of Some of Hollywoods Finest Actors

Product Description
One of the greatest poets of the century, the Noble Laureate William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) drew upon Irish folklore and myth as inspiration for much of his early poetry. Mythic themes as well as many other topics are masterfully explored in this rich selection of lyrics.Amazon.com Review
Yeats is truly the voice of old Ireland. His poetry is steepedin Irish myth and legend; his characters inhabit a world of magic,great beauty, and great sadness. This collection of 85 poems,including "The White Birds," "The Song of Wandering Aengus," and "ToIreland in the Coming Times," reflects Yeats's range of emotion--joyand regret, passion and lost love, dreams and dashedhopes. Beautifully read by an all-star cast, including Gabriel Byrne,Julian Sands, Colm Meaney, and Minnie Driver, this collection is bothan excellent introduction to Yeats's work and a treat for his longtimefans.

For those who've forgotten they are Irish
It is impossible to say who of the tremendous artists on this recording does the greatest honor to Yeats' words and intentions. Let us merely say it is the sort of contest which only the listener wins, especially if he or she has even one Emerald Isle gene in his or her make-up.

Lyrical
This is a wonderful collection of poetry.The readers contribute so much emotion to their reading.The listener can hear the music of Ireland in each voice.Every time I listen to this, I hear something new.Some of the poems included are: Stolen Child; The Indian to his Love; The Cloak, the Boat and the Shoes and The Sad Shepherd.This has brought many hours of relaxation and beauty to my evenings.I highly recommend this tape.

Excerpt: Gabriel James Byrne (Irish: ; born May 12, 1950) is an Irish actor, film director, film producer, writer, and audiobook narrator. His acting career began in the Focus Theatre before he joined Londons Royal Court Theatre in 1979. Byrne's screen début came in the Irish soap opera The Riordans and the spin-off show Bracken. The actor has now starred in over 35 feature films, such as The Usual Suspects, Miller's Crossing and Stigmata, in addition to writing two. Byrne's producing credits include the Academy Award-nominated In the Name of the Father. Currently, he is receiving much critical acclaim for his role as Dr. Paul Weston in the HBO drama In Treatment. Byrne, the first of six children, was born in Crumlin, Dublin, Ireland, the son of a cooper and soldier, Dan, and a hospital nurse from Galway, Eileen (née Gannon). His siblings are Donal, Thomas, Breda, and Margaret. Another, Marian, died at a young age. Byrne was raised Catholic and educated by the Irish Christian Brothers. About his early training to become a priest, he said in an interview, "I spent five years in the seminary and I suppose it was assumed that one had a vocation. I realised subsequently that I didn't." He attended University College Dublin, where he studied archaeology and lin...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=235306 ... Read more

Product Description
In short stories, poems and monumental novels, James Joyce set out todiscover the meaning of his nationality, simultaneously celebratingand riduculing the history of Ireland in the brilliant style that hasmade him the most towering figure in the literary landscape of theearly twentieth centry.Dublin-born Gabriel Byrne, who has starred insixteen films, including Little Women and The Usual Suspects readsJoyce's stories in this classic collection.In these short storiesfrom Dubliners and selections from A Portrait of the Artist as a YoungMan, esthetic and alienated sensibilities suffer and survive theparalysis and stifling conventions of every life and family.

Joyce's works of inner thought and struggle are more clearlybrought to life in this audio version. ... Read more

A definitive collection
The Siobhan McKenna reading of Molly Bloom's soliloquy is sublime.
The vendor from whom I bought this through Amazon was prompt, professional, and courteous.

J. Joyce
This just wasn't my cup of tea.Couldn't get through the CD.Found it difficult to understand, and when Joyce was actually reading, I couldn't understand a word.This CD was a waste of my money.

A rare jewlry
I am very satisfied of having opportunity to hear this work and Joyce reading it. Beautiful!

Fantastic!Yet . . . Be Advised . . .
If you are a fan (student?) of Joyce, this set is indeed wonderful and, yes, indispensable.

In the "Truth in Advertising" department, however, be advised that the recording of Joyce reading from Ulysses is very short (just a little over four minutes!).The outer package states, "The most fascinating treat here is the landmark recording of James Joyce reading selections from Ulysses.This rare recording was made in 1924, and Joyce's reading provides the singular experience of hearing the work as he intended it to be read."In truth, there is just one selection of Joyce reading from Ulysses; representing barely one-and-one-half pages from Chapter 7, Aeolus (pp. 142-43 in the 1990 Vintage International Edition).

Another inconsistency concerns the recording date:There is a written quotation in the package attributed to Sylvia Beach that provides informative details about the process by which she recorded Joyce reading from Ulysses in 1924. She goes on to say that Joyce was adamant that "this would be his only reading from Ulysses."Yet the CD track listings indicate that the Ulysses excerpt was recorded "circa 1921."Which is it?

Further, given the considerable logistics, negotiations and expense that Beach apparently invested in order to record Joyce, it seems inconceivable that they would have recorded for only four minutes; notwithstanding the "primitive manner" of recording in the early 1920s.Where is the rest?Do other selections really exist?

The set includes one other, somewhat longer selection of Joyce reading from the Anna Livia Plurabelle section of Finnegan's Wake (three pages at the end of Book One; pp. 213-16 in my ancient copy of the Viking Compass Edition).It was recorded "circa 1932," and lasts eight-and-a-half minutes.

In both excerpts, there are some slight, inconsequential discrepancies between the recorded and written versions; often simply affecting word order. These do make one wonder which version Joyce intended.

So here you have a total of fourteen-and-a-half minutes of Joyce's voice.Believe me, I am not complaining.But if you have read this far, it's a fair bet that you, too, would like to know how much (or how little) of Joyce's voice is actually contained in this 4-CD set.The sound quality is pretty good, considering the age, particularly if you follow along in the books while listening.And that is no doubt the best way to experience these recordings, in order to more fully appreciate Joyce's wonderful lilt, accent, pronunciation & emphasis; and to gain a much better understanding of his meaning.

Would that we could hear Joyce reading all of Ulysses!But, this little bit is infinitely better than nothing!

The selections recorded by other readers are excellent, too, but that would be the subject of another review.Best regards.

Great to experience...
I had a brief introduction to James Joyce by reading "Araby" ions ago in high school, and was looking to become more acquainted with his works. This collection performed by Gabriel Byrne was a joy to listen to...who better to hear it from than a Dubliner and a great actor to boot?! Although I was debating whether or not it was better to read his works directly before listening to any interpretation, film or audio alike, I don`t regret it. In fact, I think it will help me appreciate Joyce more when I go back to read the works featured. The chamber music as well left me thinking of another time and place, adding a nice backdrop for the dialogue. ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Keep is a 1983 horror film directed by Michael Mann and starring Scott Glenn, Gabriel Byrne, Jürgen Prochnow and Ian McKellen. It was released by Paramount Pictures. The story is based on the F. Paul Wilson novel of the same name, published in 1981 (1982 in the United Kingdom). Wilson has expressed his distaste for the film version publicly, writing in the short story collection The Barren (and Others) that it is, "Visually intriguing, but otherwise utterly incomprehensible." Despite being a critical and commercial failure, it retained a cult following, mostly due to the film's music score by Tangerine Dream and the film's mixture of Gothic horror and WWII elements. ...
