Reading Brian Moore

In a series of essays, Chris Wade explores the work of Irish novelist Brian Moore, one of the most versatile and fascinating writers of the 20th century. Acclaimed in his life time but now strangely overlooked, Moore’s books include The Great Victorian Collection, Fergus, The Black Robe, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne and The Doctor’s Wife. In this book, Wade celebrates key works from a remarkable body of work that deserves to be read and re-read by generations to come.
