- catalog abstract ""In 1979, in a remote corner of West Cork in Ireland, J.G. Farrell was drowned while fishing from the rocks near his home. He was forty-four, and it had been only six years since he had won the Booker Prize for his novel The Siege of Krishnapur. A man who elevated privacy to a high art, Farrell's legacy would be the Empire Trilogy, including the much-loved Troubles, now hailed as a classic of the twentieth century; as well as a lingering air of mystery. Farrell had always been an inscrutable man." "Based on her access to J.G. Farrell's family and friends, as well as his notebooks and personal correspondence, Lavinia Greacen's biography disentangles not only the full circumstances of the novelist's death, but the story of his life and how it informed everything he wrote."--Jacket.".
