Philip Casey
Posted on May 20, 2006 | Category: Writers
This is a passionate, erotic, mature novel that displays many of the virtues which contemporary Irish fiction so conspicuously lacks: an intelligent vision of an adult relationship coupled with an intelligent vision of contemporary Irish society. Plus, he has a supple prose style which is a constant joy to read.
- Ronan Sheehan, The Irish Press, October 1994
Warning The Fabulists is a work of fiction depicting an adult relationship and contains scenes and language which are unsuitable for minors
