O'Brien's novel \u003ci\u003eMary Lavelle\u003c\/i\u003e, banned upon publication in 1936, is a key work of the twentieth century that has suffered from critical neglect despite its wider popularity with readers. This book reexamines \u003ci\u003eMary Lavelle\u003c\/i\u003e, exploring its role in the modernist canon and its importance to political and queer activism. The novel's biographical and autobiographical experimentation is of particular note.
