Gogarty, Oliver St. John

Gogarty, Oliver St. John

▪ Irish writer
born Aug. 17, 1878, Dublin, Ire.
died Sept. 22, 1957, New York, N.Y., U.S.

      writer, wit, and raconteur associated with the Irish literary renaissance whose memoirs vividly re-create the Dublin of his youth.

      Gogarty attended Royal University (now University College, Dublin), where he was a fellow student of James Joyce (Joyce, James). (He later appeared in Joyce's Ulysses as the character Buck Mulligan, an identification that he heartily disliked and that proved to be a lifelong irritant to him. He did not take Joyce seriously as an artist.) Gogarty practiced as a surgeon and throat specialist in Dublin, where he became acquainted with W.B. Yeats, George Moore, George Russell (AE), and other leaders of the renaissance. Gogarty wrote the entertaining memoirs As I Was Going Down Sackville Street (1937), Tumbling in the Hay (1939), and It Isn't This Time of Year at All (1954).
