	Ransom Center Acquires Archive of Artful Novelist Brian Moore
		Known for his succinct prose, insight into human failings, and engaging, unpredictable plots, Moore was hailed by the New York Times as "one of the most intelligent and accessible contemporary novelists." He was born in Belfast, Ireland in 1921 and grew up as a member of the strife torn city's Catholic minority.
		Moore's experience as an expatriate is readily apparent in his protagonists, who are often restless failures eager to escape the tedium of lower middle-class life.
		As Joyce Carol Oates observed, Moore's novels are "prized for their storytelling qualities and for a wonderfully graceful synthesis of the funny, the sardonic, and the near tragic; his reputation as a supremely entertaining 'serious' writer is secure."

	Brian Moore, cool prose crafstman, Issue 36
		BRIAN MOORE WROTE a steady stream of well-crafted, taut novels that explored human nature and its responses to individual and political crisis.
		Moore was unfortunately not persuaded to actively join the Trotskyists and to struggle for democratic socialism, the only way to fundamentally remove the basis of those reactionary Nationalist and Unionist 'faiths' he deplored in Ireland.
		IN 1955 BRIAN MOORE published his first literary success, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, a sensitive study of a middle-aged alcoholic woman in drab Belfast and her desperate last attempts at finding love and companionship.

	spiritbookword: The Left Bank of Montreal (Brian Moore, Mordecai Richler, William Weintraub & Joel Yanofsky) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Moore, a little backhandedly, praises Duddy Kravitz, but "the thing is that while Duddy is great, some of the lesser characters don't come off nearly so well."Moore's talent lay in his ability to create characters, in his case female characters in particular-- a fact curiously glossed over in Brian Moore: A Biography by Patricia Craig.
		Craig credits Moore for knowing very early on that "the only way to deal with Northern Ireland was to spend as much of one's life as possible away from it." In that respect, he followed his master, James Joyce, who had a similar aversion to the petty South.
		For all the strengths of Patricia Craig's Brian Moore -- and there are many, particularly in the felicity of her phrasing and the charm of her storytelling -- given this Freud-spawned age, there is surprisingly very little analysis, never mind psychoanalysis, of Moore in relation to his family.

		What made Moore unusual is that, having established himself in Canada, he then went to the U.S. and did the same down there, on an appropriately larger scale—all the while being perceived here as a Canadian writer, maintaining some Canadian connections and drawing often on his Canadian experiences.
		Moore found that he could "do this sort of thing standing on his head; but it was a skill that embarrassed him, and which he disavowed as far as possible in later years." The earliest of these paperback quickies were under his real name.
		Moore died in 1999, a year after publication of Brian Moore, The Chameleon Novelist by Denis Sampson, who also wrote a study of John McGahern, another Irish writer with Canadian associations.

	Robert Fulford's appreciation of Brian Moore
		In the last months of his life, as he fought the pulmonary fibrosis that finally killed him on Sunday night, Brian Moore was working on a novel about Arthur Rimbaud, the 19th-century French symbolist poet, a subject far distant from anything he had written before.
		Moore once wrote: "there isn't a man alive who has the faintest idea of what a woman is, how she thinks and feels....are we ever going to get through the Iron Curtain of male generalizations about women?" Stepping through that curtain in several books was among his great accomplishments.
		Moore always said he was a Canadian writer because it was in Canada that he became a writer (in the 1940s and 1950s), and he carried a Canadian passport to his last days.

		Moore once said that his first novel, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, was a pilgrimage back to the people he had known as a boy.
		Moore's novels usually focus on central female characters, but part of Moore's success was because he was able to give an international slant to his writing.
		He was a prolific novelist - having produced roughly one novel every two years - he would joke about being slave to what he called the 'Ulster work ethic'.
