内容简介

我不善于写信。约翰·麦加恩，1963年约翰·麦加恩一直被誉为继詹姆斯·乔伊斯和塞缪尔·贝克特之后极其优秀的爱尔兰作家之一。这卷书收集了他与家人、朋友和文学界名人（如西默斯·希尼、科尔姆·托宾和保罗·马尔敦）在漫长的人生旅途中交换的一些诙谐、深刻和不折不扣的精彩信件。这是过去三十年来对爱尔兰和英国文学研究的主要贡献之一，它不仅是对一位备受尊敬的作家的生活和作品的重要洞察，也是一部战后爱尔兰文学及其与英国和美国文学生活紧密联系的历史。

“我们这个时代相当伟大的作家之一”。希拉里·曼特尔（Hilary Mantel）

I am no good at letters. John McGahern, 1963John McGahern is consistently hailed as one of the finest Irish writers since James Joyce and Samuel Beckett.This volume collects some of the witty, profound and unfailingly brilliant letters that he exchanged with family, friends and literary luminaries - such as Seamus Heaney, Colm Toibin and Paul Muldoon - over the course of a well-travelled life. It is one of the major contributions to the study of Irish and British literature of the past thirty years, acting not just as a crucial insight into the life and works of a much-revered writer - but also a history of post-war Irish literature and its close ties to British and American literary life.
