The Vogue by Eoin Mcnamee
'A wonderfully eerie, tragic read. I read it with my heart in my mouth.' Anna Burns author of Milkman An unforgettable novel of ghosts, lies and the the past, from the prize-winning Eoin McNamee Late 1944, and two teenagers dance the Vogue in silence on the projectionist's floor of the Pirnmill Aerodrome. She draws the outlines of their footwork in eyebrow pencil on the white sheet. He loses their bet. Decades later, a ghost returns to Morne to identify a body found in the shifting sands. Names have long since been changed; children long since cast out; lies long thought forgotten. Set against an eerie landscape, awash with secrets, The Vogue is a grimly poetic dance through the intertwined stories of a deeply religious community, an abandoned military base, and a long-shuttered children's Care Home.
Eoin McNamee's novels include Resurrection Man, later made into a film, The Blue Tango, which was longlisted for the Booker Prize, Orchid Blue, described by John Burnside in the Guardian as 'not only a political novel of the highest order but also that rare phenomenon, a genuinely tragic work of art,' and Blue is the Night, which won the 2015 Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year Award. He lives in Sligo.
