Bogmail by Patrick Mcginley
A slice of crazed, rural, Irish gothic: the tale of murder in a small Irish village in Donegal, Bogmail is a classic of modern Irish literature.
A rich and loving novel, Bogmail is full of wonder * New York Magazine *
Dark, twisted and blackly hilarious -- Declan Burke
A horrific concoction of filth.. a picture of life in Donegal that is revolting in the extreme... A shocking libel' * Donegal Democrat *
A beguiling crime fiction-flavoured cocktail which McGinley serves up with lively, lyrical and literary flair while conjuring an evocatively rendered rural backdrop * Irish Times *
There's a point in this book when you realise you are sinking into this scurrilously funny tale of murder and mania, and that you wouldn't have it any other way... McGinley's use of language is a marvel... There are snatches of Beckett in here, and oodles of what Joyce termed a "scrupulous meanness" in drawing the characters' * Irish Examiner *
