How, then, did he structure the narrative? 'Oh, the day, the seasons, the community. The rhythms of the everyday. In a way, nothing happens, and everything happens. You have to follow your own life.

Aber ganz entkommen kann er nicht. Nicht nur, dass er weitere Übergriffe durch einen Priester erleben muss, es scheint auch, als ob der Vater eine unsichtbare Fessel geschaffen hat, die ihn an sein altes Leben bindet.

Amongst Women (1990), Irish Times/Aer Lingus Literary Award (1991), GPA Award (1992), nominated for the Booker Prize (1990).Plagued by doubts about his suitability for the priesthood, Mahoney decides to spend some time with his cousin Fr Gerald. The 1937 Constitution offers a rhetorical exaltation of the role of mothers in Irish society, but it should be critiqued for what it is: institutional sexism that occludes women from participation in economic life in favor of birthing and raising children through an overt gendering of domestic space and duty. The duty of childbirth for “the common good” (41.2.1) is imagined as so completely encompassing of a woman’s life that its demands bar her from individual agency or even a sense of self, outside of her role within the state’s process of ideological reproduction.

I really do think that not to read even one McGahern means you’d be missing out. You would get through Amongst Women in a day anyway.
