Abstract
In theme and manner, Time to Go resembles Cock-a-Doodle Dandy. It is what one of its characters would term an ‘effervesacatin’ substratum of Irish post-Revolutionary society; similarly treated, in fact, to the conceptual world of Within the Gates, only in miniature. The lighter side of Irish life is accentuated, but with an excoriating wit.
