The title is derived from the young Malachy's mishearing of the words "amongst women" in the "Hail Mary". Here, he tells the story of his hell-raising days when he left Ireland and... more...went in search of fame, fortune and fun in New York.

Perhaps I'm going to be a little harsh on this book, after the joy of reading his brother Frank's books.
At times I was reminded of the great david Niven's books "The moon's a balloon" and "Bring on the empty horses" in a similar autobiographical style, but when you're not that famous namedropping is so passe.
Content I got pissed, I got fucked and I travelled; end of story.
Yes I was harsh, there are some quite humorous moments and yes there are some quite famous people.
Unfortunately this is an empty and unfulfilling bandwagon jump and does not deserve your attention.
Vey unfortunately I have not entered enough words in this review, and these extra words are purely filler which describes the bookquite well
