What People are Saying About This
This is a comprehensive and searching study of the fiction of Brian Moore, which brings a marked and subtle intelligence to bear upon the crux of faith in Moore's writing, linking this question to a feature of the work which has not hitherto been given much attention, the craft of the fiction. In this treatment Moore emerges as a careful and conscious artist deeply engaged in a prolonged exploration of the crisis of faith in twentieth century life and action.
