Eugene Downing - a collection of 16 articles, photos, etc.
Latest addition
2 short letters by Eugene Downing to the Irish Times. The one on religion just shows his sense of humour, the other is a reminder of his attention to detail. CC, 27th October 2007.
I've collected a series of articles about the volunteers for Spain, including numerous by or about Eugene Downing. This includes the transcript of an interview I did with him, and numerous funny articles written by him.
I've decided that it will be easier to find the assorted articles if I combine them, so here we are.
If anyone has details of book reviews, other interviews, etc, please get in touch and I'll add them here.
