Fergus, a novel by Northern Irish- Canadian writer Brian Moore, was published in 1970, in the United States by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. It tells the story of Fergus Fadden, a 39-year-old Irish-born writer living in California, who is haunted by ghosts from his past, including that of his father. [1]
Moore's biographer, Patricia Craig, described it as "wholly original, and singularly diverting". [2] Jo O'Donoghue says that, in Fergus, "Moore carries the theme of family influence to an extreme conclusion". [3] George Woodcock, reviewing the novel for the quarterly journal Canadian Literature, said: "Fergus's nightmare is never less than convincing. The novel that bears his name is a masterpiece of the best kind of fantasy". [4]
