Summer-Fall 2017 Catalog(Fin)
FRONTLIST Solar Bones 2–3 Sip 4–5 Savage Theories 6 Never Look an American in the Eye 6 War Porn 7 The Darkest Child 8–9 WINNER OF THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE | AN IRISH TIMES BOOK CLUB CHOICE WINNER OF THE BGE IRISH BOOK AWARDS NOVEL OF THE YEAR A vital, tender, death-haunted work by one of Ireland’s most important contemporary writers, Solar Bones is a celebration of the unexpected beauty of life and of language, and our inescapable nearness to our last end. It is All Souls Day, and the spirit of Marcus Conway sits at his kitchen table and remembers. In fl owing, relentless prose, Conway recalls his life in rural Ireland: as a boy and man, father, husband, citizen. His ruminations move from childhood memories of his father’s deft- ness with machines to his own work as a civil engineer, from transformations in the local economy to the tidal wave of global fi nancial collapse. Conway’s thoughts go still further, outward to the vast systems of time and history that hold us all. He stares down through the “vortex of his being,” surveying all the linked circumstances that combined to bring him into this single moment, and he makes us feel, if only for an instant, all the terror and gratitude that existence inspires. Solar Bones is a masterwork that builds its own style and language one broken line at a time; the result is a visionary accounting of the now. MIKE MCCORMACK is an award-winning novelist and short story writer from County Mayo in Ireland. -
