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:

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.

Описание: From the acclaimed author of the international sensations City of Bohane and Beatlebone, a striking and gorgeous new novel of two aging criminals at the butt ends of their damage-filled careers. A superbly melancholic melody of a novel full of beautiful phrases and terrible men.

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 expecting Maurice's estranged daughter, Dilly, to either arrive on a boat coming from Tangier or depart 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.

Описание: The Critical Graduate Experience is a collection of scholarly reflections on the possibilities of a new vision for critical studies. It is a remarkable book that provides daring analyses from the vantage of the graduate student experience. Drawing from individual knowledge and research, the authors invite you to re-imagine education for justice. Barry Kanpol opens the work with a brilliant meditation on joy and cynicism in university classrooms and educational theory. The book continues to unfold as an open and honest conversation with doctoral students and recent graduates concerning the ethics of higher education. In a true critical approach, each chapter problematizes a new facet of academic assumptions and practices as they touch the lives of students. The authors explore the ethical implications of acknowledging student spirituality and expanding the role of critical education studies. The book concludes with a transparent self-critique on the process and ethics of graduate students writing for publication. This is a wonderful text, guiding students and professors as they enter into dialogue on the ethics of an authentic critical education studies. Classes on practical ethics, educational spirituality, student voice, collaborative publishing, and critical pedagogy could benefit from the insights offered here. Daring to believe that student experience and knowledge have a place in the world of academic publishing, this book is both a prophetic proclamation of and humble invitation to a new future in the field.
