The Pornographer John McGahern New edition
The Pornographer
John McGahern
The narrator, a writer of pornographic fiction, creates an ideal world in his book, while he bungles his own affair with an older woman who falls in love with him. His insensitivity to this love is in contrast to the tenderness of his attempts to make his aunt's slow death in hospital tolerable.
