Описание: From the author of the wildly acclaimed Night Boat to Tangier, one of the New York Times's Ten Best Books of 2019, come stories of rural Ireland in the classic Irish mode: full of love (and sex), melancholy and magic, bedecked in some of the most gorgeous prose being written today. All of Kevin Barry's prodigious gifts of language, character, and setting in these eleven exquisite stories transport the reader to an Ireland both timeless and recognizably modern. In this new collection, we encounter a gallery of west Ireland character poised on the cusp between hope and disaster: a forlorn and sensitive young man favoring art films and by no means setting the night on fire takes romantic aim at a mysterious Polish waitress in The Coast of Leitrim; a morbid town crier hounds the main drag of Limerick with the inevitable greeting Did you hear who died? in the drolly comic Who's-Dead McCarthy; and in the title story, a pregnant young woman waits anxiously in a van while her older fiancй undertakes, no doubt unwisely, robbing a petrol station with a claw hammer. Shot through with dark humor and the uncanny power of the primal and unchanging Irish landscape, the stories in That Old Country Music represent some of the finest fiction.

Описание: On 1 November 1920, eighteen-year-old UCD medical student Kevin Barry was hanged in Mountjoy Jail for his role in an IRA raid that killed a British soldier. The reaction to his execution was incensed and international, and to this day, he remains a vibrant icon of patriotic, idealistic death, his name synonymous with youthful republican sacrifice. The persistence of his memory is singular, not only within Irish republicanism but also in the wider world. Eunan O'Halpin, esteemed historian and grand-nephew of Kevin Barry, explores his ancestor's short but significant life, the dynamics of growing up with 'a martyr in the family, ' and why Barry's name has continued to resonate in Ireland and beyond. O'Halpin examines Barry's ideological formation and the impact of his religious education, and challenges common misconceptions about educated, privileged men who were just as willing as rural Volunteers to do what they saw as their duty. Indeed, Barry's life in the IRA in Carlow and Dublin was a surprisingly active one, despite his age, and his story tells us a great deal about the young men who joined the IRA to fight against British rule, and later each other, and the families left behind to keep their memories alive.

In the dark waiting room of the ferry terminal in the sketchy Spanish port of Algeciras, two aging Irishmen--Maurice Hearne and Charlie Redmond, longtime partners in the lucrative and dangerous enterprise of smuggling drugs--sit at night, none too patiently. It is October 23, 2018, and they are trying to locate Maurice's estranged daughter, Dilly, whom they've heard is either arriving on a boat coming from Tangier or departing on one heading there. This nocturnal vigil will initiate an extraordinary journey back in time to excavate their shared history of violence, romance, mutual betrayals, and serial exiles. Rendered with the dark humor and the hardboiled Hibernian lyricism that have made Kevin Barry one of the most striking and admired fiction writers at work today, Night Boat to Tangier is a superbly melancholic melody of a novel, full of beautiful phrases and terrible men.

Описание: I felt like I was living in a world teetering on the brink ... Life as a stay-in-bed husband turned out to be a lot more complicated than I expected. My wife was pregnant with a baby that possibly wasn't mine.
My old man was engaged in a war with the feminist movement that he was never going to win. And my old dear was making a lot of unexplained trips to Russia. Throw into the mix an eldest son with a possible sex addiction and three infant sons who were so thick they made me look like Edward Einstein.
I might have actually gone over the edge if it wasn't for the belief of my daughter and the challenge of helping her win the greatest prize that South Dublin has to offer - the Strictly Mount Anville glitter ball.

Recently discharged from the Australian army, Simon meets a beautiful woman while travelling to Far North Queensland in Australia. They fall in love. When they reach the city of Cairns they encounter a man called Wilson. Wilson is the head of a secret government agency called AATIO, an organization responsible for 'the lethal removal' of unwanted criminal groups and terrorist cells which cannot be dealt with in a more 'legally acceptable' manner.
The young woman is accidentally killed in an assassination attempt on Wilson's life. Consumed with grief and a lust for vengeance, the ex-soldier is drafted by Wilson into the ATTIO fold and sets out on a blood soaked vendetta against the people he has been told were responsible for his wife's murder. But there is more to her death than meets the eye. As the story unfolds, the ex-soldier becomes involved in a desperate plot to assassinate the Australian Prime Minister.
