Brian Moore (born in 1921 – 11 January 1999), a novelist and screenwriter from Northern Ireland who emigrated to Canada and later lived in the United States, was a novelist and screenwriter.
He was known for his descriptions in his books of life in Northern Ireland after the Second World War, particularly his investigations into the inter-communal divides of The Troubles, and has been dubbed "one of the few true masters of the modern novel."
In 1975 and 1989, he received the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1975 and the inaugural Sunday Express Book of the Year award in 1987, and three times (in 1976, 1987, and 1990).
Moore also wrote screenplays and several of his books were turned into film.
Early life and education
Moore was born and grew up in Belfast with eight siblings in a large Roman Catholic family. His grandfather, a hard-authoritarian solicitor, had been a Catholic convertor. James Bernard Moore, his father, and the first Catholic to vote on Queen's University's senate, was a surgeon, and Eileen McFadden Moore, a farmer's daughter from County Donegal, was a nurse. Eoin MacNeill, the patron of Conradh na Gaelic League), and Professor of Irish Studies at University College Dublin, was his uncle.
Moore was educated at St Malachy's College, Belfast. He left the school in 1939 after failing his senior exams. The physical appearance of The Feast of Lupercal's school closely matches that of Moore's alma mater and is widely believed to be a lightly fictionalized version of the university as he vaguely remembered it.
Personal life
Moore was married twice before becoming a migrant. His first marriage, in 1952, was to Jacqueline ("Jackie") Sirois (née Scully), a French Canadian and fellow-journalist with whom he had a son, Michael (who became a professional photographer), who was born in 1953. Jackie and Derek died in January 1976 after they divorced in October 1967. In October 1967, Moore married Jean Russell (née Denney), a former commentator on Canadian television.
In Seamus Heaney's poem Remembering Malibu, Moore's beachside home in Malibu, California, was lauded. Jean Moore's widow lived in the house until it was destroyed in the Woolsey Fire in 2018.
