Grave Concer Resurrection Man Eoin AfcNamee (Picador £14.99)

his is a novel which is very much the product of its location. Set in Belfast, Resurrection Man seethes and cascades with raw energy and malevolence. But whilst being context bound within a city whose history is T"devised as a study of death," McNamee's book seeks to explore the poignancy and emotion which exists beneath the vicious sectarian violence. The plot of Resurrection Man centres around the activities of an ultra violent unit of the UVF, lead by the twisted figure of Victor Kelly. Kelly, fiercely proud of his Protestant upbringing, launches an unrelenting campaign of random attacks upon Catholic victims. These assaults are different to the usual sectarian killings because of their emphasis on ritualistic and elaborate mutilations. McNamee conveys the sense of sheer hatred and futility which underlies these attacks both within the terrorists themselves and the community in general. It is McNamee's magnificent control over the tone and balance of the narrative which makes this novel so powerful. He seeks not to simply condemn the outbursts of terrorism but to trace the forces which construct them.He makes it clear that these shaping elements are not only religious but relate to the carefully constructed scenes of childhood and adolescence which prefigure the later atrocities. Whilst never condoning terrorist activity, McNamee offers a highly detailed insight into the surrounding psychology. He illustrates the extent to which the paramilitaries are mythologised within their own community, elevated to almost heroic status within a city where any dream - no matter how sordid - is clung to. Even more disturbingly he hints at the ways in which terrorist activities are manipulated and even determined by politicians and the media. Resurrection Mini is an absolute triumph. Not for the faint hearted it is often horrific in its intensity, but it is McNamee's blending of beauty and brutality which makes it so impressive. Offering a highly accomplished first novel, Eoin McNamee will perhaps transcend the mortality to which his more violent characters are inevitably consigned. Ian Darby
