White City (2021)
Kevin Power
"White City is brilliant on the high-octane vacuity of Ireland’s rentier class. Power’s trademark shimmering prose counterpoints a driving narrative... Brilliant."

Milkman (2018)
Anna Burns
"Mercurial. Profound. Hilarious. Brilliant. I've been waiting for a book like this for thirty years."
thumb
Carnivalesque (2017)
Neil Jordan
