The Final Taboo

It is the most erotic lovestory ever written by an Irishman- main themes love sex religion bdsm and ecclesiastical eroticism. The story is similiar but better than Barbet Schroeder's 1975 classic movie Maitresse (Bulle Ogier and Gerard Depardieu). It tells the story of its two main characters Sally O' Brien and Father Mark Flanaghan, set in the West of Ireland it brings the reader on a journey of self-exploration and discovery,stopping off along the way describing life in Dublin,Paris,Amsterdam,London and New York. The style of the early chapters is based on Walter Macken's "Quench the moon" and "The silent people". Other influences for the story of The Final Taboo include one of Irelands greatest poets-Patrick Kavanagh. Characters and descriptive narrative for the story are similiar to those found in "kavanagh country" or are to be found buried beneath the "Stoney grey soil of Monaghan".
