Sommario/riassunto |
|
Denis Sampson explores John McGahern's discovery of art as a young man and traces the development of his signature vision and style. Sampson considers McGahern's early efforts as an apprentice novelist and weaves the inner story of the composition of his acclaimed first novel The Barracks into a narrative of imaginative formation. |
