Stations by Louise Kennedy: A masterwork from the heir to Edna OâBrienâs agile indignation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
âRed in need of a home, RóisÃn desperate for a friend. Was that all it had been?â By the moment the main character of Louise Kennedyâs darkly glittering saga of friendship and time asks this question, we know enough to know their bond had been much more. But what, exactly? How do need and affection shape a lifetime? And, when only memories remain, what does it cost to visit the ârealm of the lost and forgottenâ? Every bit as devastating, skilful and alive as her lauded debut novel, T
The Newer World by Sebastian Barry: Giving voice to slavery and its aftermath (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A truly singular architect of fictional worlds, across 30 years as a novelist Sebastian Barry has deliberately mounted a gallery of legendary and lost people who must ask, as his latest narrator does, âHow big are we in the world?â His work has long followed and developed hints about his own ancestry on both his fatherâs side (the McNulty novels, beginning with The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty) and his motherâs side (the Dunne novels). Each vivid character is âa scrap of humanity like
A Thought without Collision by Adrian Duncan: A sublime and fascinating exploration of how people teach and learn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1896, statistician Francis Ysidro Edgeworth, nephew of novelist Maria, sat in a field and offered blobs of marmalade to a nest of wasps, timing their flights to and from home.

Time must ordinarily be spent in looking for good things.â In his sublime new novel
Where Are the Kings: Donal Ryanâs wrenching, gorgeous new novel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
âYou have to reimagine the world when someone dies,â a character says late in Donal Ryanâs Heart, Be at Peace. Ryanâs wrenching, gorgeous new novel adds that, from any lonely observation point on âthis motherless worldâ, you may also have to reimagine the entire cosmos. Ryan opens Where Are the Kings with a mother, father and child standing precariously âat the lip of the well of their livesâ, in the moment before the black hole swallows them all: Mam will drown herself, Dad will
The Broken King by Michael Thomas: An artfully relentless memoir (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Michael Thomas sold his debut novel, Man Gone Down, in 2005 for an advance that covered âalmost a month of billsâ, he clocked that heâd have to âsell a book every few weeks for some time to comeâ to make a living. The novel became a Dublin Literary Award-winning sensation. But while Grove Press gave him âa room in the house of Beckettâ, his profit on it was absurd: a tenure line conjured out of thin air after years of adjunct labour, a name more searchable by the psych wardâ
