Query: McGahern's Dark Mind

McGahern is a difficult author to read and takes time to deeply appreciate. The Dark explores the choices one makes in determining one's course in life. The hero of the novel struggles with the the Church's teachings and his lustful desires, which creates a very real tension. Reading the book will make you understand why it was widely banned for many years, and also appreciate McGahern's ability to capture pre-Celtic Tiger Ireland. Every time I read McGahern I feel as if Ireland has come alive before me. McGahern is a wonderful author and this book is vital to his body of literature.
