13. CitationRicoeur, ‘Life in Quest of Narrative’, 29. Paul Ricoeur, who died on 20 May 2005, was widely regarded as one of the greatest French thinkers of his generation. He was schooled in the philosophy of hermeneutic phenomenology, his belief being that reading, writing and the meaning of life were all mutually dependent. As his career progressed he became increasingly interested in works of literature and in particular narrative analysis, which he saw as central not only to the interpretation of texts but also the understanding of our lives and identities.

18. Hogan cites three women writers in particular, namely Katherine Mansfield, Willa Cather and Katherine Anne Porter along with Scott Fitzgerald as his major influences. See Woods, ‘Just as there are Parentheses within Sentences there are Parentheses within Lives.’
19. It was perhaps CitationTrevor's recognition of this quality in Desmond Hogan which led him to include his work in his anthology; Trevor, Oxford Book of Irish Short Stories.
20. O'Brien is still best known for her trilogy The Country Girls (1960–64), which in its final part deals with her heroines’ unhappy lives in London. Later works by O'Brien such as Night (Citation1974) and Time and Tide (Citation1993 explore such themes in more psychological depth, with similarities to Hogan's work in their emphasis on the role of memory in experiences of migration, loss and exile.
21. Britain in the 1970s was no more tolerant in this regard than Ireland, although this is not something that particularly features in the novel.
