After teaching his fiction in several courses, I endeavored some years ago to explain its representation of human subjectivity and weigh the possibilities MacLaverty affords his characters for resistance to-dare I say, happiness in spite of?-the despair wrought by violence in Northern Ireland.

Returning to Belfast after a long absense, to attend her father`s funeral. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. A description of our secondhand books is not always available.
