This volume is a collaborative reassessment of the writing of John McGahern. The contributors provide provocative readings of his major works and also examine some of his lesser-known short stories, essays and unpublished archival materials which have not yet received due critical attention. The book also has a focus on topics and issues in McGahern's writing that have been overlooked, thus extending the critical discourse on this important Irish author.

They share an innovative approach to McGahern's writings, challenging conventional readings of his fiction.
