Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Kevin Barry's deliciously wicked collection <i>Dark Lies the Island</i> delivers on the many reckless promises made by his virtuosic and prizewinning debut novel, <i>City of Bohane</i>. It firmly establishes him as both a world-class word slinger and a masterful storyteller.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"[Kevin Barry] isn't sparing with his powers. Even his throwaway lines are keepers." --<i>The New York Times</i></p><p>"He does humor. He does high drama. He even dabbles in horror (of a kind). And he can handle just about any other narrative form you might think of." --<i>Star Tribune (Minneapolis)</i></p><p>"Barry's best short stories are like a spade to the face . . . [He] earns comparison with the great and shamefully neglected V. S. Pritchett, whose short stories also employed pronounced comic means for serious, compassionate ends." --<i>The Guardian</i></p><p>"Outstanding . . . [These] stories triumph . . . They are funny, sad, troubling, illuminating, often in equal measure." --<i>Financial Times</i></p><p>"By the end of a story, Barry has me in full sympathy with someone I might edge away from on the train. His regard for characters big and small and capacity to be funny without playing them for cheap laughs recalls George Saunders." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i></p><p>"Stealthy and shimmering . . . Darkness abounds in these thirteen stories, though it takes its different forms: vileness, foreboding, ignorance, isolation, self-delusion, despair." --<i>The Boston Globe</i></p><p>"Barry is a prose wizard whose stories pulse on the page with all the humor and viciousness of life itself." --<i>Sam Lipsyte, The Millions</i></p><p>"[Kevin Barry's] prose is almost literally indescribable . . . It's not hard to see a devoted following accrue around this singular talent." --<i>Irish Independent</i></p><p>"A startlingly unique voice." --<i>Observer (London)</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Kevin Barry</b> is the author of the novel <i>City of Bohane</i>, winner of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, and the story collection <i>There Are Little Kingdoms</i>. He lives in County Sligo, Ireland.</p>
