Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Paperback, v + 216 pages, NOT ex-library. Cover design by John Short. Limited signs of careful wear, very good condition. Book is clean and tight with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps. Gentle cosmetic wear to covers. Spine remains free of vertical creases. -- Kevin Kiely's post-Joycean novel follows three generations of an Irish family from Archmill, County Kerry, in the 1900s to Pooneybrook, a Dublin suburb at the dawn of the telly age. It is rich in linguistic play (Kiely's synonyms for the sexy secretary: the eroto-facient, steatopygous, aphrodytic, dianine and cornudatient Miss Bestlay), much of it in extended parodies, the rest in occasional flashes, viz 'married blitz'. Skilfully written, it combines verbal fancy with a touching sensitivity to the morose constituents of Irish life. -- Kevin Kiely poet, novelist, literary critic, raconteur and American Fulbright Scholar gained his PhD in modernist and postmodernist poetry from University College Dublin. He was born in County Down (Northern Ireland) and has received six Arts Council Bursaries in Literature, a Kavanagh Fellowship in Poetry and a Bisto Award for Fiction, and is Honorary Fellow in Writing with the University of Iowa. -- From the back cover: "Denis Rangan, a happily married man, was entitled to speak critically of marriage." 1907: A Fair-day in the town of Archmill. Rangan's Hotel (prop. Denis Rangan) is the heart of the town. 1921: The world has known total war, Ireland is torn by the Troubles but two philosophers laze in the sun and set the world to rights. 1933: A spoiled priest and a professor of theology are baptised by the Misses Tangey. 1944: A soldier returns to war on the home front. 1949: After the battle, a survivor holds on in the certain hope and surety. Deafened by the music of the spheres, Justin Howlin, academic ad absurdum, staggers from crisis to crisis in this comic epic of failure. - "My admiration is for much that is in the 'realm of technique'; but also for something more elusive and harder to define, the creative faculty." - Anthony Cronin; "The real innate native spirit, wild, imaginative, excessive. Kevin Kiely is in the van of the Nouvelle Vague. Wild speculation based on esoteric knowledge, we are in the company of Roger Bacon, Aquinas, Nostradamus, to mention only the more conservative. A literary explosive device. Read and remain in the mystical dark." - Francis Stuart.
