The creative kingdom of the writer of fiction is an imaginative space full of potential. There is no shortage of examples of such writing in the work of the late Irish writer John McGahern. This text seeks to link McGahern’s fictive world with notions of utopian thinking in how it can liberate the conscious from false notions of values and belonging that, in turn, affect the nature and quality of freedom of expression.
