AUTHOR: George Augustus Moore was an Irish novelist, short-story writer, poet, art critic, memoirist and dramatist Moore came from a Roman Catholic landed family who lived at Moore Hall in Carra, County Mayo He originally wanted to be a painter, and studied art in Paris during the 1870s There, he befriended many of the leading French artists and writers of the day As a naturalistic writer, he was amongst the first English-language authors to absorb the lessons of the French realists, and was particularly influenced by the works of mile Zola His writings influenced James Joyce, according to the literary critic and biographer Richard Ellmann, and, although Moores work is sometimes seen as outside the mainstream of both Irish and British literature, he is as often regarded as the first great modern Irish novelist. BOOK RESUME: Celibates is a novel of three characters: Mildred Lawson, John Norton and Agnes Lahens. They have nothing in common other than an absolute love of themselves and an inability to sympathize with others. In that vein, it constitutes a striking image of our own modern day self-absorbed society. Not signed.
