Description
London: Faber and Faber, 1979 First edition, first printing. Publisher’s tan cloth, titles in gilt to spine; original tan dust jacket with photo of buildings to front panel attributed to the Irish Tourist Board, lettered in white. Fine book; near fine unclipped dust jacket with light fading to spine, touch of creasing to edges, and small price sticker to front flap. Overall, a fresh and handsome copy. In The Pornographer, Michael, a Dublin-based writer of pornographic fiction, becomes sexually involved with an older woman. When the woman becomes pregnant, Michael exhibits a cruel lack of emotion towards her and his unborn child. Contrastingly, throughout the novel, Michael visits and tends to his terminally ill aunt at the hospital. John McGahern is a profoundly influential Irish writer, whose most famous work, Amongst Women, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1990. In his obituary in The Guardian, he was called "arguably the most important Irish novelist since Samuel Beckett.". First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Dust Jacket Included.
