"Extraordinary . . . Barry takes us on a roaring journey . . .
Powerful, exuberant fiction." --"The New York Times Book Review"
(front cover)
Forty or so years in the future. The once-great city of Bohane on
the west coast of Ireland is on its knees, infested by vice and
split along tribal lines. There are the posh parts of town, but it
is in the slums and backstreets of Smoketown, the tower blocks of
the North Rises, and the eerie bogs of the Big Nothin' that the
city really lives. For years it has all been under the control of
Logan Hartnett, the dapper godfather of the Hartnett Fancy gang.
But there's trouble in the air. They say Hartnett's old nemesis is
back in town; his trusted henchmen are getting ambitious; and his
missus wants him to give it all up and go straight. Kevin Barry's
"City of Bohane" combines Celtic myth and a Caribbean beat, fado
and film, graphic-novel cool and all the ripe inheritance of Irish
literature to create something hilarious, beautiful, and
startlingly new.
