With the republication of Garth St Omer’s novels, around fifty years after their original publication, a new generation of readers has been discovering how modern a writer he is, whilst others have been remembering just how good the novels are. These qualities are documented in this casebook that brings together reviews from the time of first publication, later critical assessments, personal memories and contemporary re-assessments of St Omer’s small but important body of work.
