Beschreibung

With a new foreword by Colin Walsh, this is 'one of the most volatile, vital and unsafe novels in Irish literature', banned by the censor for obscenity in 1965 - and just as explosive today.<br><br>He was coming and there was nothing to do but wait and grow hard as stone and lie.<br><br>Mahoney grows up in fear of his father: of his beatings with the heavy leather strap; of the nights he wants love. Seeking to escape the claustrophobic family farm, he contemplates a future in the priesthood, but battles with his tortured conscience amidst adolescent lusts. After winning a scholarship, he takes a stand against the household's toxic violence - and begins a journey towards an understanding that may mean peace.<br><br>'A master.' Kevin Barry<br>'Timeless.' Sinéad Gleeson<br>'Extraordinary.' Colin Walsh<br>'Blew me away.' Colin Barrett<br>'A great writer.' Sebastian Barry<br>'Exquisite.' Andrew Michael Hurley<br>'Elegiac and graceful.' David Mitchell<br>'One of the greatest writers of our era.' Hilary Mantel'The Irish novelist everyone should read.' Colm Tóibín<br>'The preeminent Irish writer of his generation.' Anne Enright<br>'I'm grateful for every sentence he left in this world.' Donal Ryan<br>'One reads McGahern for the textures of time and space, through which each of us travels, often alone.'
