Always Give a Penny to a Blind Man is Eric Wright’s autobiographical account of his early years in England. Published in 1999, the memoir covers his working-class childhood and the experiences that would eventually lead him to emigrate to Canada.
The book gives readers of Wright’s fiction a window into the background that shaped his writing. His observational style and interest in ordinary people’s lives are already visible in his recollections of growing up in England.
