Idealistic love and death, sibling rivalry and obsessive lust are themes familiar to McGinley's work, focusing here on Arty Brennan, who built factories, a supermarket and a noisy motel, trading a spiritually enriching culture for a "hippiedrome" of second-rate 20th century glitter. Patrick McGinley has also written "Bogmail", "Goosefoot", "Fox Prints", "Foggage", "The Trick of the Ga Bolga" and "The Red Men".
