McLaverty, Michael

    0.09 sec.

McLaverty, Michael (1904-1992)

Irish writer. McLaverty was born in Carrickmacross, County Monaghan, and lived for a short time on Rathlin Island, County Antrim, before moving to Belfast. His fiction, both short stories and novels, is directly related to his experiences as a headmaster of a Belfast Catholic boys' school. Beginning with stories that concentrate on young and marginalized characters, then moving into autobiographical fiction, and finally writing Catholic novels dealing with morality, McLaverty is known for caring but unnostalgic prose that is often praised for its straightforward style. His best-known works are the short story ‘Pigeons’ and the collection The Road to the Shore (1976).
