Alf MacLochlainn

4.9/5 (24236 ratings)

Description:In this collection of two novellas and seven short stories, Alf MacLochlainn comically reduces life's problems to the minute details of everyday existence. Socks, shoes, and trousers suggest perplexing difficulties: how best to put them on, the intricacies involved in keeping them on, the physical (as well as psychological) laws related to the interaction of body and clothing. All such speculations come to an absurd, crashing halt as the contemporary mind, filled with an overload of information, attempts but fails to make sense of some of the simplest, though of course complex, mundane "facts" of daily life.From Dublin to Central Illinois to Outer Space, MacLochlainn's stories embody the imaginative spirit of Samuel Beckett and Flann O'Brien. "Alf MacLochlainn writes a very fine prose . . . the finest style I have encountered in any Irish writer in recent years." (John Banville, author of Athena ) "Through sharp characterizations and personal insights, rather than literary allusions, MacLochlainn creates a story that is both moving and meditative." (Publishers Weekly 3-18-96) MacLochlainn shows that he has not only nabbed much of the technique used by [Flann] O'Brien, but understood him thematically and, in the process, one-upped the master." (The Recorder Spring-Fall 97)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
