Author's introduction: 'This essay will discuss Koch's most recent novel, Out of Ireland, in which concepts of "home" and "away" demonstrate clear relevance to post-colonial studies. One of Koch's central concerns is the fundamental opposition between cityscape and landscape, symbolised by his evocation of the mythical lands Dis and Boeotia. Within this construct we glimpse Koch's views of society and of the human spirit, as well as a final warning about the dangers of harbouring a romantic sensibility.' (84)
