Instinct
View through CrossRef
Human sexual behaviour is one of McGahern’s greatest preoccupations and this chapter looks in depth at the novel in which this interest is brought most to the fore, The Pornographer, published in 1979. As a means to enter this conversation it looks at the work of the Australian poet Douglas Stewart, and in particular at his poem ‘The Silkworms’ from which McGahern quotes in The Pornographer when describing the Dublin dance hall which the eponymous narrator cruises for women. The chapter stresses the deep seriousness with which McGahern took sex and its portrayal in fiction.
