Opening with a quote from Richard Brautigan-"I've been examining half-scraps of my childhood. They are pieces of distant life that have no form or meaning"-Scenes from a Receding Past constructs the adolescence and early adulthood of Dan Ruttle out of a variety of scenes and reminiscences about his life in Ireland, his time in a Catholic school, his first sexual experiences, and his brother's mental breakdown.\nAidan Higgins is considered by many to be the literary descendant of James Joyce and Samuel Beckett. A consummate stylist, his writing is lush and complex, especially in his novels.
