Description
No Irish novelist has succeeded so completely in rendering rural Irish life as Peadar O'Donnell. From the minutest details of life on tiny islands to the broader sweep of townland life in mainland Donegal, O'Donnell manages to recreate a rural Ireland in a deeply intimate and moving way. This reader's guide examines all of O'Donnell's works, both the fiction and non-fiction, and establishes him as an extraordinary writer. O'Donnell's vision of his homeland is complex and many-layered. His major novels, The Knife, about the Irish Civil War, The Big Windows, about rural Donegal, and Islanders, about the poverty and struggles of a small island community, probably provide the most unsentimental and honest portrait of Irish life written by any Irish writer this century. Taken collectively, O'Donnell's works achieve a regional depth comparable to Hardy's Wessex.
