John Banville: A Critical Introduction is a 1989 book by Rüdiger Imhof, which is the first full-length appraisal of the work of major turn of the century writer John Banville.[1]

Imhof's book has been characterised as "formalist" by Joseph McMinn, whose John Banville: A Critical Study appeared two years later.[1][2]

Imhof's book was republished in 1997 following the arrival of The Untouchable.[1]
