Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. John McGahern's second novel, The Dark, confirmed and enhanced the reputation he gained with his first, The Barracks. The scene is set in rural Ireland and the central theme is adolescence, impelled forward by ambition and sexuality, guilty and uncontrollable, contorted and twisted by a puritanical and passionate religion and, above all, by a strange, powerful, ambiguous relationship between son and widower father. Against a background evoked with quiet, undemonstrative mastery, McGahern explores with precision and tenderness a situation superficially very ordinary but inwardly an agony of longing and despair. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

hardcover. 1st edition. New York. 1965. February 1966. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Bookstore Stamp in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Some Tears. 192 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Adelson & Eichinger. keywords: Literature Ireland. FROM THE PUBLISHER - John McGahern's first novel, The Barracks, was described by Anthony Burgess in The Observer as more than just promising,' by Michael Ratcliffe in The Sunday Times as a novel of mesmeric power and beauty,' and by David Lodge in The Spectator as displaying a scrupulous yet enhancing accuracy that reminds one of the young Joyce.' His second novel, The Dark, has therefore been awaited with more than usual interest. The setting of Mr. McGahern's new novel is the rural Ireland of his childhood. The story explores the relationship between a boy on the verge of manhood and his domineering widowed father. The father, Mahoney, is a lonely, embittered, and violent man who loves his children deeply but who is quite capable of destroying them in his rage against Fate. The boy senses the dangers that confront him in this defeat-ridden household and struggles to make his escape, but while attempting to free himself from his environment he must also fight to appease the darker demons of adolescence. The Dark is a book of somber beauty that fully justifies the generous prophecies occasioned by Mr. McGahern's first novel. inventory #5419 Bookstore Stamp in Front, Otherwise Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Some Tears.

Dust jacket is slightly sunned to spine, lightly chipped at spine head, short tear and light soiling to head of rear cover. McGahern's second novel.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 191 p. 19 cm. Black cloth in mylar-covered dustjacket. Slight spine lean. Some soiling to rear free endpaper. The second novel by Irish writer John McGahern shines a light into Ireland's unsavoury past that many might prefer to keep hidden. The Dark was widely acclaimed yet unsurprisingly banned by the Irish state censor for obscenity. The author's unusual writing style might have puzzled some readers as well, since the central character is referred to as You, He, They, or I at various points in the narrative. Yet The Dark remains a sensitive, perceptive, and beautifully written portrayal of a young man's difficult rise from adolescence to adulthood.
