The Stray Sod Country by Patrick Mccabe
Strangely elegiac, gloriously operatic and driven by Pat McCabe's wild and savage imagination, The Stray Sod Country is an eerie folk tale that chronicles the passing of a generation
'Powerful, razor-sharp and with a depth that calls to mind The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner.. McCabe is the real McCoy' Russell Hoban 'A hilarious circumnavigation around an Irish town and its vagabond inhabitants, in the grand tradition of Somerville and Ross and Flann O'Brien' Edna O'Brien 'Dazzling and wonderful Patrick McCabe orchestrates all of his familiar themes into a mesmerising tapestry of small town dreams and nightmares. He is master of his universe here, and what a universe it is' Neil Jordan 'It is a true delight to re-enter the world of one of the most exuberant and entertaining contemporary writers' Daily Mail
