Aidan Higgins (born 3 March 1927) is an Irish writer. He has written short stories, travel pieces, radio drama and novels.〔("Aidan Higgins", Irish Writers Online. )〕 Among his published works are ''Langrishe, Go Down'' (1966), Balcony of Europe (1972) and a more recent biographical work ''Dog Days'' (1998). His writing is characterised by non-conventional foreign settings and a stream of consciousness narrative mode. Most of his early fiction is autobiographical - "like slug trails, all the fiction happened." He currently lives in Kinsale, County Cork, and is a member of Irish artist's association Aosdána.〔 ==Life== Aidan Higgins was born in Celbridge, County Kildare, Ireland. He attended local schools and Clongowes Wood College, a private boarding school. In the early 1950s he worked in Dublin as a copywriter for the Domas Advertising Agency. He then moved to London and worked as a labourer for about two years. He married Jill Damaris Anders in London on 25 November 1955. From 1960, Higgins sojourned in Southern Spain, South Africa, Berlin and Rhodesia. In 1960 and 1961 he worked as scriptwriter for Filmlets, an advertising firm in Johannesburg.〔〔(Hedwig Gorski, "Aidan Higgins Biography" )〕 These journeys provided material for much of his later work, including his three autobiographies, ''Donkey's Years''(1996), ''Dog Days''(1998) and ''The Whole Hog''(2000).
