  I Am Mary Dunne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I Am Mary Dunne (1968) is a novel by Brian Moore about one day in the life of a beautiful and well-to-do 31-year-old Canadian woman living in New York City with her third husband, a successful playwright.
Triggered by seemingly unimportant occurrences, the protagonist / first person narrator remembers her past in a series of flashbacks, which reveal her insecurities, her bad conscience concerning her first two husbands, and her fear that she is on the brink of insanity.
One of the classic stream of consciousness novels set during only one day is Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway (1925), where preparations for a party open the floodgates of memory for the female protagonist.

 Ploughshares, the literary journal
Both Mary and Fergus realize this, and in "releasing" their dead, inherit themselves as their memories have defined them — Mary in rejecting suicide as an over-played role, the play "unreal," made out of "fairly ordinary problems" (217); Fergus in waving farewell to ghosts he now accepts as part of "some other, inconceivable world.
Mary Dunne, her problems resolved, is lying in bed proving her sanity by remembering her day, which is structured with associational links to the past and encounters with "real" visitors from it who both release more memory and supply withheld information and memories of their own.
The result is that we care less for story, character, a world, a life, and more for abstract dialectic, charmingly veiled, imaginatively presented, but fiction its occasion rather than its motive.

 Moore, Brian
In the earlier, "Irish" stories, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne (1955) and The Feast of Lupercal (1957), his forlorn characters struggle in naturalistic fashion to break from their environments.
Another recurrent theme is the confrontation of past and present in the lives of individually realized characters at a point of change, as explored in I Am Mary Dunne (1966), Fergus (1970), The Great Victorian Collection (1975, Governor General's Award) and The Mangan Inheritance (1979).
More recent novels such as Lies of Silence (1990), No Other Life (1993) and The Statement (1995) testify to Moore's interest in the pared-down narrative style of the political thriller and the mystery, though in Moore's hands the genre writing also serves the purposes of literary art.

There were also "I Am Mary Dunne," written in first person from the point of view of a woman, and two realistic novels, the acclaimed "The Doctor's Wife" and an odd little gem called "The Temptation of Eileen Hughes."
Some of these books are less interesting than others, but Moore's ability to change direction from one novel to the next has always impressed critics, and undoubtedly depressed sales.

 Robert Fulford's appreciation of Brian Moore
Over the years he became known as a male novelist with a rare talent for creating female characters.
I Am Mary Dunne, published in 1966, was a spectacular case.
A feminist novel written before the wave of feminist novels began, it set out the predicament of a sophisticated young woman who realizes that she's defined, even in her own mind, by men.
