Brian Moore (first name /briːˈæn/ bree-an; 25 August 1921 – 11 January 1999) was a novelist and screenwriter from Northern Ireland[1][2][3] who emigrated to Canada and later lived in the United States. He was acclaimed for the descriptions in his novels of life in Northern Ireland after the Second World War, in particular his explorations of the inter-communal divisions of The Troubles. He was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1975 and the inaugural Sunday Express Book of the Year award in 1987, and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize three times.[4] Moore also wrote screenplays and several of his books were made into films.

Biography

Moore was born and grew up in Belfast. His father, James Bernard Moore, was a prominent surgeon and the first Catholic to sit on the senate of Queen’s University[5] and his mother, Eileen McFadden Moore, was a nurse.[6][7] He grew up with eight siblings in a large Roman Catholic family, but reportedly rejected that faith early in life. [citation needed] Some of his novels feature staunchly anti-doctrinaire and anti-clerical themes, and he in particular spoke strongly about the effect of the Church on life in Ireland. A recurring theme in his novels is the concept of the Catholic priesthood. On several occasions he explores the idea of a priest losing his faith. At the same time, several of his novels are deeply sympathetic and affirming portrayals of the struggles of faith and religious commitment, Black Robe most prominently.

Moore was educated at St Malachy's College.[8]He left school in 1939, having failed his senior exams. He later criticised his schooling through his novels The Feast of Lupercal and The Emperor of Ice Cream.[9]

Moore was a volunteer air raid warden during the bombing of Belfast by the Luftwaffe. He also served as a civilian with the British Army in North Africa, Italy and France. After the war ended he worked in Eastern Europe for the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. He emigrated to Canada in 1948, worked as a reporter for the Montreal Gazette, and became a Canadian citizen. While eventually making his primary residence in California, Moore continued to live part of each year in Canada up to his death.[7] He taught creative writing at UCLA.[10]

Moore lived in Canada from 1948 to 1958, and wrote his first novels there.[11] His earliest novels were thrillers, published under his own name or using the pseudonyms Bernard Mara or Michael Bryan.[12] Moore's first novel outside the genre, Judith Hearne, remains among his most highly regarded. The book was rejected by ten American publishers before being accepted by a British publisher.[7] It was made into a film, with British actress Maggie Smith playing the lonely spinster who is the book/film's title character.[7]

Other novels by Moore were adapted for the screen, including Intent to Kill, The Luck of Ginger Coffey, Catholics, Black Robe, Cold Heaven, and The Statement. He co-wrote the screenplay for Alfred Hitchcock's Torn Curtain, and wrote The Blood of Others, based on the novel Le Sang des autres by Simone de Beauvoir.

Acclaim

Graham Greene said that Moore was his favourite living novelist,[13] though Moore began to regard the label as "a bit of an albatross".[14]

Personal life

Moore was married twice. His first marriage, in 1952, was to Jacqueline (“Jackie”) Sirois (nee Scully), a French-Canadian[3] and fellow-journalist with whom he had a son Michael in 1953. They divorced in October 1967 and Jackie died in January 1976.[15] Moore married his second wife, Jean Denny, in October 1967.[15]

Death

Brian Moore died in 1999 at his home in Malibu, California, aged 77, from pulmonary fibrosis. He had been working on a novel about the 19th-century French symbolist poet Arthur Rimbaud.[16]

Legacy

The Creative Writers Network in Northern Ireland launched in 1996 the Brian Moore Short Story Awards, which are now open to all authors of Irish descent. Previous judges have included Glenn Patterson, Lionel Shriver, Carlo Gebler and Maeve Binchy.[17]

Moore has been the subject of two biographies, Brian Moore: The Chameleon Novelist (1998) by Denis Sampson and Brian Moore: A Biography (2002) by Patricia Craig.[18] Brian Moore and the Meaning of the Past (2007) by Patrick Hicks provides a critical retrospective of Moore's works.

Information about the publishing of Moore's novel, Judith Hearne, and the break-up of his marriage can be found in Diana Athill's memoir, Stet (2000).[19]

In 1975 Moore arranged for his literary materials, letters and documents to be deposited in the Special Collections Division of the University of Calgary Library, an inventory of which (The Brian Moore Papers: First Accession and Second Accession) was published by the University of Calgary Press in 1987.[20] Moore's archives, which include unfilmed screenplays, drafts of various novels, working notes, a 42-volume journal (1957–1998), and his correspondence [1], are now at The Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, at the University of Texas at Austin.[21]
