Amongst women / John McGahern

Public ISBD Titre : Amongst women Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John McGahern Editeur : London : Faber and Faber Année de publication : 1990 Importance : 184 p. Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 0-571-14284-2 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : Families  Ireland Index. décimale : 823/.914 Résumé : One joke about the Irish War of independence is that several weeks' negotiations only reached the Middle Ages. McGahern's character Moran is an aging veteran of that war whose brooding on the past obscures his present. The novel is in form and style much like McGahern's first, The Barracks (1963). A male protagonist whose extreme state of mind could be called patrimania abuses the women who sustain him and refuses to acknowledge the obsolescence of his mind, body, and convictions. Such is Moran's obstinacy that he manages to traumatize his family by the mulish application of the "family-that-prays-together-stays-together" theory. McGahern's work vindicates obsession with the past and reexamination of fictional landscape by extracting new power from familiar predicaments. A most satisfying addition to a very distinguished body of work.- John P.
