To Keep a Bird Singing by Kevin Doyle
An impressive and thrilling debut that looks corruption in the eye and never blinks. DAVID PARK When Noelie Sullivan finds his stolen punk records for sale in a charity shop in Cork, it seems like a lucky break. But Noelie has just made himself and those closest to him a target.Exchange Place is exactly what you want from a novel: a thrilling story steeped in intrigue which at the same time challenges and entertains
a master study in the nature of identity
Carson is a great carthographer of Northern Irish literature
Exchange Place is gloriously uncategorisable. Robbe Grillet would have welcomed it, as would Queneau and Perec, but Hammett and Chandler too would have tipped the brims of their trilbys in salute. A wonderful intellectual romp.
-- John Banville
