The Pornographer

Beschreibung

The Pornographer is the story of a writer down on his luck, not a Dubliner but a resident of Dublin penning far from erotic tales to make ends meet. These tales revolving around the delicious, unending revel of Colonel Grimshaw and the typist Mavis Carmichael form a mordant counterpoint to his own, much more complicated existence.

Autor

Called "arguably the most important Irish novelist since Samuel Beckett" by The Guardian, John McGahern (1934-2006) was a writer and novelist who has had an immense influence on contemporary writing both in his home country and abroad. He wrote six novels during his lifetime, the last being That They May Face the Rising Sun (published as By the Lake in the U.S.), which won Novel of the Year at the 2003 Irish Book Awards. Anne Enright is the author of several books of fiction, most recently the novel The Wren, the Wren. She received the Irish PEN Award for Literature in 2017 and served as the inaugural Laureate for Irish Fiction from 2015 to 2018.
