John McGahern - That They May
Face the Rising Sun Perhaps the first thing to say about John McGahern’s
new novel is that very little happens; and yet, everything happens. There
is little conventional plot or character development, but stories get
told, characters are delineated. The rhythm of the prose takes its beat
from the natural world, the changing seasons around a lake in an unspecified
border county, sometime in the late eighties or early nineties. |
