LAST OF NINE Aubrey Malone
Paperback 6" X 9" 547 pp - ISBN 978-1-913144-22-7 Published March 2021
Aubrey Malone’s
memoir begins with him entering life as the youngest of nine
children born to Hugh Dillon-Malone, a colourful solicitor, in
Ballina in 1953.
His life is a hubbub with lots of activity both inside and
outside his family home of Norfolk. There are also his various
‘homes from home’ – the Estoria cinema, the soccer grounds of
Belleek, the beach at the nearby town of Enniscrone. His family moved to
Dublin in 1969 after his father retired. Here he attended
university, graduating with an Arts degree in 1975. He was a
Primary teacher for a number of years before he drifted into
freelance journalism and then book writing.
The Last of Nine
deals with his interest in films, books, music, sport and travel
as he acclimatises to his new life in Dublin against the
backdrop of everything from
Big Brother to the
Coronavirus.
