    Stations by Louise Kennedy: A masterwork from the heir to Edna O’Brien’s agile indignation (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    “Red in need of a home, Róisín desperate for a friend. Was that all it had been?” By the moment the main character of Louise Kennedy’s 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 “realm of the lost and forgotten”? 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)

    Excerpt · English

    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, “How big are we in the world?” His work has long followed and developed hints about his own ancestry on both his father’s side (the McNulty novels, beginning with The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty) and his mother’s side (the Dunne novels). Each vivid character is “a 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)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    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. He was seeking confirmation that the laws of probability could say something true about social behaviour, but he confessed the fiction of his study: “It has not fallen to the lot of every wasp to meet a statistician tendering sweets.

    Where Are the Kings: Donal Ryan’s wrenching, gorgeous new novel (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    “You have to reimagine the world when someone dies,” a character says late in Donal Ryan’s Heart, Be at Peace. Ryan’s wrenching, gorgeous new novel adds that, from any lonely observation point on “this motherless world”, you may also have to reimagine the entire cosmos. Ryan opens Where Are the Kings with a mother, father and child standing precariously “at the lip of the well of their lives”, 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)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When Michael Thomas sold his debut novel, Man Gone Down, in 2005 for an advance that covered “almost a month of bills”, he clocked that he’d have to “sell a book every few weeks for some time to come” to make a living. The novel became a Dublin Literary Award-winning sensation. But while Grove Press gave him “a room in the house of Beckett”, 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 ward’
