A Matter of Faith Summary

A Matter of Faith: The Fiction of Brian Moore by Robert Sullivan

This is the most extensive account of Moore's fiction to date that considers his many works from the early stories to the recent novel, No Other Life. Moore, who was born in Ireland but is a Canadian citizen and resides predominantly in the United States, has earned an international reputation as an important novelist. This book sets out to demonstrate a discernible pattern of concerns that cut across Moore's fictive output over the last 40 years. It argues that the concerns of love and faith (and the interplay between them) form the backbone of Moore's oeuvre. Sullivan draws from interviews with Moore and presents a study that convincingly demonstrates how Moore's fictions, from first to last, take their place in a larger thematic and formal masternarrative.

A Matter of Faith Reviews

Sullivan offers the most useful single-volume study to date of the 19 novels produced by Moore over the last 40 years. . . . Sullivan's effort admirably distills Moore's technique and worth. . . . All academic collections. - Choice
