About the Author
John McGahern was born in Dublin and brought up in the west of Ireland. He is the author of three collections of short stories and six novels, including Amongst Women, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
Review
"[McGahern] writes with a poignancy and passion. He has been likened to the early Joyce, and he has the same spare artistry."
— Spectator
"We must know that while we read this book, an experience much like touching the raw nerves of a growing boy, we are in the company of a very talented writer."
—Library Journal
"The best novel to come out of Ireland for many years."
—Irish Times

The Dark (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Wilmington, DE, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Set in rural Ireland, John McGahern's second novel is about adolescence and a guilty, yet uncontrollable sexuality that is contorted and twisted bo both puritanical state religion and a strange, powerful and ambiguous relationship between son and widower father. Against a background evoked with quiet, undemonstrated mastery, McGahern explores with precision and tenderness a human situation, superficially very ordinary, but inwardly an agony of longing and despair. McGahern's second novel is about adolescence and a guilty, yet uncontrollable sexuality. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
