Book Talk George Moore

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

by DESMOND MACCARTHY
George Moore is best known as the author of ' Esther Waters ', a book famous for its realism and human sympathy, and of ' The Brook Kerith ', an imaginative reconstruction of the life of Joseph of Arimathaea. He was an Irishman, a great stylist, and a great story-teller-also a great character about whom Charles Morgan has recently written a most entertaining essay.
As Hone's life of George Moore was
.published at the beginning of this week,, Desmond MacCarthy is taking the opportunity to talk about his books, and about the man himself as he was at his home in Ebury Street, where MacCarthy was a frequent visitor.
