Description

|
|
|
John Banville, writing in the Irish Times, called Liam O'Flaherty "the finest Irish writer of his generation," a generation that included Frank O'Connor, Sean O'Faolain, and Austin Clarke. Excerpts and quotations from O'Flaherty's work are combined here with photographs from the writer's life, historical photos of the early 20th century, reproductions of art and illustration, and color portraits of the Irish countryside to create a journey of images and words through O'Flaherty's lifetime. The book covers his early years on the Aran Islands, his World War I experiences, his years of travel, his involvement in the Irish Civil War and Communist politics, and his success as the author of such stories and novels as "The Sniper," "Wolf Lanigan's Death," Thy Neighbor's Wife, and The Informer.
