A propos de cet article

First printing of the first edition of the author's fifth published work, and second collection of short stories. ***Near fine in grey cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The boards are nice and clean, with just a small mark on the back board. Tail of spine only very slightly creased. Corner tips sharp. Page block edges clean and white - no foxing. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally the book is also near fine, with no inscriptions or annotations. The pages are really clean with no foxing, and no serious creases or tears - just very light creasing to the last few pages (please see scans - hardly noticeable). ***In a near fine monochrome printed dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £4.25 net. The dustwrapper is also near fine, with just some very light creasing to the edges - mainly a light crease at the top edge of the front panel near the spine (please see scans). There is no fading, even to the white titles on the spine. Dustwrapper bright. ***151 pages. 204mm x 132mm. ***'John McGahern (12 Nov 1934 - 30 Mar 2006) was an Irish writer and novelist. He is regarded as one of the most important writers of the latter half of the twentieth century. Known for the detailed dissection of Irish life found in works such as "The Barracks", "The Dark" and "Amongst Women", he was hailed by The Observer as "the greatest living Irish novelist" and in its obituary The Guardian described him as "arguably the most important Irish novelist since Samuel Beckett." McGahern's six novels, drawing inspiration from personal life experience, detail the trials of developing a sense of self in mid-twentieth century Ireland. He was first published by the London literary and arts review, X, which published in 1961 an extract from his first abandoned novel, "The End or Beginning of Love". McGahern married his first wife, Finnish-born Annikki Laaksi, in 1965 and in the same year published his second novel, "The Dark", which was banned by the Irish Censorship Board for its alleged pornographic content along with its implied sexual abuse by the protagonist's father. Due to the controversy which was stirred by the book's publication, McGahern was dismissed from his teaching post and forced to move to England where he worked in a variety of jobs, including on building sites, before returning to Ireland to live and work on a small farm that he bought near Fenagh, a village near Ballinamore, in the south-east of County Leitrim. The farm was located in the townland of Aughaboneill, just south of Foxfield and a short distance south-west of Fenagh. The farm overlooked Lough Rowan or Rowan Lough, usually known locally as Laura Lake. McGahern divorced in 1969, and married Madeline Green in 1973. He died from cancer in the Mater Hospital in Dublin on 30 March 2006, aged 71. He is buried in St Patrick's Church, Aughawillan, alongside his mother.' (Wiki) ***A first printing of the true first edition of John McGahern's second short-story collection "Getting Through" - uncommon in first edition, and very uncommon in such near fine condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. …
