SOURCE: Dallat, C. L. “Decline in the West.” Times Literary Supplement (21 March 1997): 25.
In the following review, Dallat contends that Higgins's short fiction collection Flotsam and Jetsam “offers a vivid illustration of his range and eclecticism, his outstanding control of atmospheres, his literary development and his importance in the history of twentieth-century Irish literature, in which he can be seen as a missing link between the modernist period and contemporary writing.”
