McGill, Patrick

Entry updated 21 October 2024. Tagged: Author.

(1890-1963) Irish-born poet, journalist and author, in Scotland and England from 1905, in the US from the late 1920s. His World War One experience involved active service, then reportage that was harrowing but insufficiently full of hatred for the Hun to please the authorities; his Irish novels were subsequently spurned by the Irish for reasons of political correctness not now entirely clear. Of sf interest is Sid Puddiefoot (1926), a Lost Race tale set in Africa, where exiles from persecution in Ireland had founded a kingdom in 1785. [JC]
