Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Born in 1934, John McGahern was the eldest of seven children. Raised on a farm in the West of Ireland, he was the son of a Garda sergeant who had served as an IRA volunteer in the Irish War of Independence; his mother died when he was nine. He became a primary school teacher in Dublin but was dismissed when his second novel, The Dark, was banned in 1965 for 'obscene' content. Living subsequently between London, Paris and upstate New York, he and his second wife Madeline Green eventually settled back in his native Leitrim in the early 1970s. The author of six acclaimed novels and four story collections, McGahern was shortlisted for the 1990 Booker Prize for Amongst Women and awarded the Irish PEN Award, the Prix Ecureuil de Littérature Etrangère and the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. He died in 2006.
