March Hares collects thirty years of Aiden Higgins's essays, papers, and diaries, offering reflections on modern literature, modern readers, and Higgins's own experience of literary life in the twentieth century in witty, insightful, often musical prose: "We cannot go on writing novels in a traditional Irish way for the very good reason that one would be poleaxed by a stupor of boredom; although this does not seem to deter some of our contemporaries (whom it would be invidious to name) from plowing the same old furrow that has been plowed since O'Flaherty stuck his plowshare into the old sod." Higgins also discuss and draws connections among a wide array of major literary figures, including Melville, Flaubert, Joyce, Beckett, O'Brien, Olson, and Pinter. -- from back cover.
