- Robinson’s 272-page monograph is the culmination of six years’ research into the work of John McGahern, a canonical figure in Ireland. It undertakes detailed cross-readings between the whole of McGahern’s fictional output (six novels, four volumes of short stories) and a great variety of transnational modernist works by Joyce, Proust, Yeats, Beckett, Woolf, Chekhov, Nietzsche, Bergson and others. Drawing on diverse theoretical approaches deriving from poststructuralism, existentialism and philosophies of time, and draft material in the McGahern archive in NUI-Galway, this book makes a crucial contribution to current debates in literary studies about the ‘legacy of modernism’ or ‘late modernism’.
