Martyn Turner made his way from Essex to Co. Kildare via Belfast in the 1970s.When he landed among the Irish,Jack lynch was Taoiseach,soon to be followed by Liam Cosgrove,then Jack again - then the Napoleon of Kinsealy.And so on up to Enda Kenny.Turner has drawn them all - all nine men (alas no women) who have been head of government on his watch.In 'Turner's Taoisigh,he reproduces representative samples of his work on each - aggregating 100 plus brilliant cartoons - with a commentary (all his own work) on the technical problems each man presented for the struggling cartoonist.
The results have delighted readers of The Irish Times (and other newspapers).He has established himself quite simply as tthe best Irish cartoonist of his generation.A selection of the very best of his work over the 45 years of his career to date and particularly for The Irish Times specifically.The cartoons are his own favourites from his vast collection: they form an alternative history of our time. And they are a lot more cheerful than the official history: even the blackest,most mordant humour in some of these brilliant cartoons is a counterpoint to what has sometimes been a very bleak reality indeed.
