WRITER MINI-PROFILE

A commemorative feature on Brian Moore, who died in early January 1999. Widely respected but in some ways under-estimated in the literary world, it seems certain that his legacy will live on.

His quietly insistent but understated prose struck a chord with readers when he published his first novel, 'The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne', to great acclaim.

He published many novels over the years including 'The Luck of Ginger Coffey', 'Fergus', 'I Am Mary Dunne,' 'The Doctor's Wife' and 'Black Robe'.

He also wrote a number of successful screenplays.

In this feature directed by Brendan Byrne, we hear from other writers about the influence and lasting impact of Brian Moore's work and revisit some archive material which shows him in interview.
