Product Description
This multi-layered novel introduces us to the eccentric, not to say dysfunctional, Dublin household of the Mallons. The head of the family is Roger Mallon, grand old man of Irish literature (and inventor of Meticulism), who has not published a line for over forty years. Also living in his large Victorian house are his subservient children and grandchildren. Tensions and jealousies come to a head when Roger Mallon makes a new young friend, and an American scholar gains access to the old man's secret diaries.
This edition, Ward River Press 1982, first published by faber UK, 1960.
