Garrett Anderson, a graduate of TCD born and raised on the Irish periphery of Liverpool, is a novelist entirely forgotten by both academia and today’s dwindling number of devotees of fifties Ireland, despite having written two of the most entertaining exposés of literary Dublin in that decade. Both novels are somewhere between a roman-à-clef and a Juvenalian satire, as recognizable characters are merged and transformed for the sake of exposing fraudulence in the literary world. The first, Brennan’s Book (1976), models the new character of Eamonn O’Connor around Brendan Behan, while the second, Until the Greyhound Comes (1976) appears to be created from recognizable types in a particular lifeworld from fifties to seventies Dublin and London.
