Description

Frank O'Connor was a most pains-taking writer, sometimes taking up to ten years to revise and polish a story. This book attempts to examine the process and tries to reveal something about O'Connor's perception of this craft and the environment from which his art emerged. The book includes much previously unknown and unpublished material, providing new insights into "First Confession", "Judas", "The Genius", "Orpheus and his Lute", "The Little Mother", and other stories. Michael Steinman is also author of "Yeat's Heroic Figures - Wilde, Parnell, Swift, Casement".
