	Boston.com / A&E / Books / Irish memories, leavened with wit and absurdity
		Aidan Higgins, the author of over a dozen books of fiction and observation, is best known for his 1966 novel, ''Langrishe, Go Down," an elegiac portrait of four elderly spinsters going to seed in an Irish country house.
		The family is Catholic; 75 acres is hardly an estate; Higgins talks like a local, plays with the filthy Keegans, and is happiest in the kitchen, sitting on the butcher's lap listening to his First World War stories.
		Supported largely by Irish arts awards, Higgins returns periodically to write in Ireland, and his descriptions of rural life in the 1970s and 1980s, whether humorous or pastoral, have the snap of lively diary entries.

		Higgins was born in County Kildare in 1927.
		To the contrary, Higgins is a master of sketching fully formed characters in a few lines or paragraphs, suggesting whole lives and histories with stunningly deft precision.
		Higgins can portray whole societies with the same concision, as when he writes of Copenhagen: "The sleepy Danes are modest in a reserved way; reserve with them being a form of arrogance.

	CONTEXT: Devin Johnston, Reading Aidan Higgins
		Higgins skirts such a danger in Balcony of Europe, which his editor John Calder edited to 463 pages from a manuscript of twice that size (much as Maxwell Perkins edited Thomas Wolfe's Of Time and the River).
		For Higgins, memory leaves signatures in space; individuals are inseparable from circumstance.
		Higgins rarely introduces them by describing their physical attributes, nor does he quite occupy minds other than his own.

	Graph archive: Neil Murphy
		Aidan Higgins is a telling example of the demerits of reputation.
		Higgins sees complexity, not neatly ordered and socially myopic stereotypes, and precisely because of this his fiction is closer to the mystery of things than the bland outpourings of much of contemporary fiction which merely tinkers with existing misconceptions.
		Higgins resolves the structural unevenness of the previous texts without sacrificing the poignant expression of uncertainty which is so important to his work.

		Long unavailable in America, Higgins' minor classic of aristocratic decline unfolds in the drowsy Irish countryside, in the period between the world wars.
		Through fragments of conversation and snatches of interior dialogue, Higgins traces their relationship from its ecstatic beginnings to its inevitable ruin.
		He sets the affair against a backdrop of universal decay: water-stained ceilings, crumbling tombstones, a frog at the bottom of a grave, its eyes filming over, "as if it had enough." In lesser hands, this might have become the stuff of dime-store gothic romance.

		In recreating his past, Higgins freely admits he's retrieved material from other works as well, though the tone is more often experimental than novelistic.
		The overall effect is less like a memoir than a glimpse at a novelist's notes as he transforms the raw material of his experiences into fictional set pieces.
		Higgins may be County Cork's most prolific living literary aesthete, perhaps most familiar to Americans as the author of Langrishe, Go Down and the recent short-story collection Flotsam and Jetsam.

	Irish literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joyce's high modernist style had its influence on coming generations of Irish novelists, most notably Samuel Beckett, Brian O'Nolan, who published as Flann O'Brien and Myles na gCopaleen, and Aidan Higgins.
		O'Nolan was bilingual and his fiction clearly shows the mark of the native tradition, particularly in the imaginative quality of his storytelling and the biting edge of his satire.
		The big house novel prospered into the 20th century, and Aidan Higgins' first novel Langrishe, Go Down is an experimental example of the genre.

	The New York Review of Books: The Missing Link
		The American publication of Aidan Higgins's Langrishe, Go Down is, or should be, a cause for celebration.
		Although Higgins went on to produce further novels—notably Balcony of Europe, a big, ambitious tale of a mixed group of expatriates living in Spain in the 1960s—Langrishe is without doubt his masterpiece.
		However, Higgins should keep in mind the response Joseph Heller gave to an interviewer who was crass enough to remark the fact that Heller had not managed to write anything better than his first book, Catch-22: "Who has?" Heller asked.

	village voice > film > Tadpole; Langrishe, Go Down by Jessica Winter
		The copious epigraphs in Tadpole come courtesy of Voltaire, beginning with "Love shows signs that cannot be mistaken." Fitting, then, that the movie's Enlightened young hero is so attuned to the rigors of inductive reasoning, even in an arena as definitively irrational as l'amour.
		They meet cute in the woods, they develop not a rapport but a fascinatingly robotic mutual affect (Otto pontificates pretentiously; Imogen stares into space intoning "Oh are you?" and "Is that so?"), they fall in love, they fall out.
		Aidan Higgins's novel undergoes a choppy, perplexing script adaptation by Harold Pinter (who enjoys a soused, belligerent cameo), further muddied by non sequitur editing inserts.
