editorial:–
If John O’Loughlin’s
first novel Changing Worlds betrays the
influence (through souped-up interior
monologue) of
James Joyce on his early fiction, then the chief inspiration behind
this
fictional journal was undoubtedly Jean-Paul Sartre or, rather, Sartre's
first
novel Nausea, which made such a profound
impression on him ...
that he simply felt the need to attempt something similar - albeit
within a
necessarily different milieu and social setting. This
was
in
the
autumn of 1976, and the
result was an account of some three weeks in the life of the very same
character whom we first encounter as a disillusioned clerk in the
earlier
novel, but whose existence here, as a budding writer, is nothing short
of a
spiritual rebirth! Now that Michael
Savage has become or, at any rate, is in the process of becoming his
intellectual self ... we are led into an even more subjective world
than that
of his previous incarnation, with further opportunities for both
autobiographical and philosophical speculation.
In fact, Fixed Limits should be regarded as the sequel
to Changing Worlds, without prior reference to which much of its subject-matter
and
environmental settings would seem difficult, if not impossible, to
understand. For John O’Loughlin, this was his literary ‘black hole’ which gradually led him into a new
universe
of fictional writings thereafter, beyond the reach of his early
mentors. – A Centretruths Editorial
