Death of John McGahern

April 4th, 2006 · No Comments

We are all saddened by the sudden death of John McGahern on March 30th.
Author of The Barracks, The Dark, The Leavetaking, The Pornographer, Amongst Women and That They May Face the Rising Sun, his most recent book, Memoir, was published last year to great acclaim. In 2003, McGahern was awarded the Irish PEN / A T Cross award for Literature.
Our sympathies go to his wife, Madeline, and to his family.
