( ) Was brought here by the Donegal Democrats endorsement; "a horrific concoction of filth ... a picture of life in Donegal that is revolting in the extreme ... virtually pornography veneered with an assumption of literary value ... a shocking libel on the people of Donegal." Very witty writing throughout but the plot loses all steam two thirds of the way through. Was brought here by the Donegal Democrats endorsement; "a horrific concoction of filth ... a picture of life in Donegal that is revolting in the extreme ... virtually pornography veneered with an assumption of literary value ... a shocking libel on the people of Donegal." Very witty writing throughout but the plot loses all steam two thirds of the way through. Patrick McGinley has written a story set in Donegal that tugs at the heart. It is the characters and the dialogue that do the tugging. There is a soaring sense of location. It's a beautiful, peculiar piece of Ireland. The plot, however, is difficult as it bumps down a Dostoyevsky-like road. I read it to page 79 and had to set it aside. I tried again and made it to page 115. I peeked at the ending and was surprised so perhaps the plot deserves more praise than I can give. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

A rediscovered classicof Irish literature, this darkly comic tale tells of murder and its consequences. Set in a remotevillage in the northwest of Ireland, Roarty, a publican and former priest, kills his lecherous bartender and buries him in a bog. When Roarty begins to receive blackmail letters, matters quickly spiral out of his control. Alive with the loquacious brio of his pub's eccentric regulars, and full of the bleak beauty of the Donegal landscape, Patrick McGinley's rural gothic novelis a modern masterpiece.
