Introducing
BECOMING
AND
BEING
Autobiographical
& Biographical Sketches by John
O’Loughlin
Which can be
previewed via
the link below the following brief Centretruths editorial:–
Divided into two
parts, the first of which is autobiographical and the second
biographical, this
project strives to outline John O’Loughlin’s development as a writer
and the
influences, both fictional and philosophical, which shaped him over
the
years
leading up to 1982. The first part,
containing subjects ranging from sex and politics to health and
writers, is slightly
Nietzschean in its speculative approach to autobiography, whilst the
second and
more voluminous part, which deals with the estimable likes of John
Cowper
Powys, D.H. Lawrence, Aldous Huxley, Hermann Hesse, Albert Camus,
Jean-Paul
Sartre, Arthur Koestler, Lawrence Durrell, Henry Miller and George
Orwell, is
intended to provide a biographical summary and fairly blunt appraisal
of authors
whose works were to inspire him during his formative years as a
writer. It is as though they were the
beings whom Mr
O’Loughlin was eventually destined to become
or, rather, that he became being – and
hence an original writer in his own right – via
them. Finally, there is an appendix
comprised of an introduction to and lists of reading material borrowed
by John
O’Loughlin from his local library over a twelve-year period from
1977–89, which
should intrigue those interested to discover how a self-taught and
even
self-made writer can fare with regard to the acquirement of a literary
culture
that owes little or nothing to school or college, and somewhat
transcends the
restricted parameters of one’s formal qualifications in consequence. –
