Böcker av Kevin Barry

LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE. The new novel, drenched in sex, death and narcotics, in sudden violence, old magic and the mysteries of love, from the winner of the IMPAC Award and the Goldsmiths Prize

A savagely funny, achingly beautiful tale set in the Wild West, from the award-winning author of Night Boat to Tangier

When Kevin Barry turned sixty, his internal alarm clock went off. It was time. Thirty-plus years after his previous cross-country road trips, afterthe demands of raising a family and a long legal career had worn low the tread on his psychological tires, he could no longer ignore the itch. So he took an extended leave from work, upgraded his camping gear, and hit the open road. For the next sixty-seven days, he and his beloved Subaru (a.k.a. Subi), with guidance from his GPS guardian angel (a.k.a. Sweetie), traveled 11,007 miles, music blaring, on a schedule meant to be modified by impulse and whimsy (or blinding rain). By keeping his snoot to the ground and his eyes and heart wide open, Barry finds his way to beautiful places and wonderful people in unsuspecting nooks and crannies across America. In Counterclockwise: A USA Road Trip, Barry takes readers along on adventures big and small, from nostalgic reunions with old friends to a canoe rescue on Michigan's Lower Platte River and a breathtaking bald eagle sighting in Alberton, Montana; from late-night chats with fellow campers to a desperate search for lodging in Las Vegas. Woven throughout is Barry's immense enjoyment of freedom on the road and his profound love for this magnificent, complicated nation.

Edited by award winning novelist and short story writer Kevin Barry, this volume will once again mix established names with previously unpublished authors, and will seek to offer fresh renditions to the Irish story - new angles, new approaches, new modes of attack.Published in 2011, New Irish Short Stories, edited by Joseph O'Connor, has sold over 10,000 copies to date and featured Kevin Barry's 'Beer Trip to Llandudno' - winner of the 2012 Sunday Times EFG Short Story Prize - as well as stories by William Trevor, Dermot Bolger and Roddy Doyle which went on to be Afternoon Readings on BBC Radio 4.

Although eighty years separate John Huston's film from James Joyce's text, the presence of The Dead can be found earlier in European cinema, in Roberto Rossellini's Voyage in Italy (1953). Kevin Barry explores the extraordinary relationships between these three works, and the radically different aesthetics of fidelity and infidelity practiced by these exemplary artists of the twentieth century.
