Product Description

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.

Not what you might think...
The Pornographer is a book which was first lent to me by a friend. I confess it is not a book I thought i'd be interested in but by the end of the first chapter I was hooked. It is a story about love, life, death and the quest for happiness and fulfilment. MacGhern's writing is moving and convincing, especially when writing from a female perspective (something which most modern male writers could learn from and an aspect of the book which impressed me). It will keep your interest till the last and it's well worth the cover price.

I've recommended it to sevearal friends and they have all enjoyed it - no mean feat considering most were put off by the title. This is a book about relationships of all kinds, intimate, familial, friend and natural.

But it and see what you think!
