The fact was she hadn't heard from him for weeks now. Here she was a widow with an only son in England. The year was 1972.' Thus we meet Susan O'Hallrahan, age 50, of Galway, Ireland and mother of Diarmaid, age 18. Very much alone and quite without purpose, since the departure of the son whom she has nurtured by herself, Susan boasts to her neighbors of Diarmaid and his exploits in England; what he is actually doing she does not know. When Diarmaid suddenly arrives for a visit, Susan's joy is unbounded. But their old closeness is now balanced by a certain unbridgeable distance between them. And there is so much about Diarmaid that must remain a mystery: Why does he make those tortured collages? What terrible memories haunt his sleep? What does he do in England? These are the questions that Susan determines to answer as she sets out on a quest that takes her through the subculture of English cities to a discovery that she has not anticipated: an understanding of herself as well as of another generation. THE IKON MAKER is a short, intense, precisely imagined account of a relationship between a mother and her son.
