THE LETTERS OF JOHN MCGAHERN edited by Frank Shovlin

John McGahern is hailed as one of the finest Irish writers since James Joyce and Samuel Beckett.

For the first time, this volume collects together the witty, profound, and unfailingly brilliant letters that McGahern exchanged with family, friends and literary luminaries—such as Seamus Heaney, Colm Tóibín, and Paul Muldoon—over the course of a well-traveled life.
