lt;p>This book represents a unique visualisation of the world of Irish writer John McGahern through his words and the imagery of artist Paul Butler. Traumatic events in the lives of both McGahern and Butler shaped their paths, creating a want to write in McGahern and a want to create imagery in Butler. Butler explores the difficult and complex childhood that the two shared, and through a series of beautiful images that he himself has created in McGahern's own part of Ireland, he draws parallels between them and, as Eamonn Wall says in his Preface, produces a rich and life affirming appreciation of literature, art and imagery.

Paul Butler is a documentary photographer who lives with his family in Farnocht, County Leitrim. Documenting the ordinary and exploring the northwest of Ireland is his passion and he has held various photographic exhibitions and presented papers, particularly around the theme «sense of place». A former graduate of Technical Photography, he also holds a Master of Arts by Research out of which this publication has emerged. Paul works as part of webservices for The Technological University of Dublin.
