Colm Tóibín's "Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know" explores the influential relationships between three of literature’s greatest writers—Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, and James Joyce—and their fathers. Through vivid storytelling and biography, the book examines how these early paternal connections subtly influenced their lives and work. This insightful work offers a unique perspective on the personal backgrounds of these literary icons.
