'She came in like a shadow. She slid and bore herself into my eye,
between my eyelids which blinked against the dust.' She is Maud
Gonne, the muse of writer William Butler Yeats. Yeats here returns
as a ghost, after having been buried in France in 1939 in the
cemetery of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, to be returned to Ireland a
decade later. He emerges from his grave to recount his thwarted
love with Maud, a story that merges with that of the independence
movement of Ireland, of which they were both emblematic actors.
Yeats' ghost has suddenly arisen because diplomatic documents long
kept secret have resurfaced, casting doubt on the contents of the
coffin brought back into Ireland for a state funeral. Where did the
poet's body go? Does he still hover, as he wrote, 'somewhere above
the clouds'? What remains of our loves and our deaths, if not their
poetry? Besserie's exciting new novel follows on from Yell, Sam, If
You Still Can (Le Tiers Temps), translated by Cliona Ni Riordain.
In Maylis Besserie's second novel, she turns her attention from
Samuel Beckett to another iconic Irish writer, W. B. Yeats. The
connection between France in Ireland is once again explored in the
context of art, culture and the days at the end of life.
