Reviews
“. . . [a] much-needed and revealing assessment of an aspect of Neil Jordan’s oeuvre that suffers from an unforgivable neglect, his prose fiction.” – Dr. Eamon Maher, National Centre for Franco-Irish Studies
“. . . this innovative study will prepare the ground for further exploration of a writer whose fiction, despite the excellent quality of the writing, has been overshadowed - or ‘rivalled’ as noted by the author of this survey - by his filmwork.” – Prof. Mary Debrabant-O’Neill University of Burgundy
