WINNER OF THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE IRISH BOOK
AWARDS "John is so many miles from love now and home. This is the
story of his strangest trip." A novel of family, ghosts, love,
music and the quest for truth, Beatlebone recounts a wild journey
through the west of Ireland in 1978. At its helm is John, a
maddened genius fleeing fame and seeking peace. With his deadpan
Irish driver, Cornelius, at his side, John is hellbent on reaching
the Island of Dorinish, an assignment he arranged ten years before.
Lyrical, freewheeling, quixotic and fun, Beatlebone is a sad and
beautiful comedy.
