He set his novels in places he knew intimately-Dublin, London, and the West of Ireland, where he grew up-and became known for the intimacy and honesty of his mapping of home truths of Irish life. His first novel, The Barracks, was widelyhailed as a classic on publication in 1963, and his later work, including Amongst Women and That They May Face the Rising Sun. |
