Aprašymas
As Martin Lockerd notes in his Introduction to The Heather Fields and Other Stories, Deane is also "that rarest of things-a serious Irish artist who not only practices the Catholic faith, but . . . draws on his Catholicism directly and even devotionally in much of his work." Throughout his career, Deane has been willing to confront the truths of reality, in all of their profundity, pain, and beauty without sentimentality, ideology, or a false romanticism about the Irish Catholic Church, his characters, or life itself. "Throughout this collection God remains a hint half guessed, a forgotten father who calls his lost children to Him by means as diverse as a fleeting mystical vision of the primum mobile, the unexpected arrival of a Chinese takeaway menu, and the death of a fledgling swift."
