Oliver St. John Gogarty

Oliver St. John Gogarty , 1878-1957, Irish author. A physician, he also served (1922-36) in the parliament of the Irish Free State. Gogarty is perhaps best known as the model for Buck Mulligan in James Joyce's Ulysses. As I Was Going down Sackville Street (1937) and It Isn't This Time of Year at All! (1954) contain reminiscences of Joyce, Yeats, and others in the Irish literary renaissance.

Bibliography: See his collected poems (1954); his essays, A Week End in the Middle of the Week (1958); biography by U. O'Connor (1963).
