Recenzii

Rankin Russell's 'Parabolic Plots in Bernard MacLaverty's Lamb' (pp. 27-44) repurposes and explores the parables of the Good Samaritan and the lost sheep. Previous criticism on Lamb has presented it as a critique of religion and Catholicism. Rankin Russell offers an alternative approach, suggesting that it is Lamb's misreading and neglect of illustrative parables that leads to his degeneration. As such, Rankin Russell suggests that Lamb, and MacLaverty's fiction more broadly, has an ethical imperative-demanding that readers take moral responsibility for their actions and development.
