CITY OF BOHANE
Book ID/图书代码： 00200011B45747
English Summary/英文概要： Forty years in the future. The once-great city of Bohane on the west coast of Ireland is on its knees, infested by vice and split along tribal lines. There are the posh parts of town, but it is in the slums and backstreets of Smoketown, the tower blocks of the Northside Rises and the eerie bogs of Big Nothin’ that the city really lives.
For years, the city has been in the cool grip of Logan Hartnett, the dapper godfather of the Hartnett Fancy gang. But there’s trouble in the air. They say his old nemesis is back in town; his trusted henchmen are getting ambitious; and his missus wants him to give it all up and go straight... And then there’s his mother.
City of Bohane is a visionary novel that blends influences from film and the graphic novel, from Trojan beats and calypso rhythms, from Celtic myth and legend, from fado and the sagas, and from all the great inheritance of Irish literature. A work of mesmerising imagination and vaulting linguistic invention, it is a taste of the glorious and new.

Awards/获奖情况：`**** I can see the film already. If it’s a patch on the book, it’ll be a cracker’ ---RTE Guide `This is a startlingly and imaginative debut novel from one of Ireland’s most talented new writers’ ---Irish Post
`Cool, culty and futuristic novel set in a crime-ravaged Irish city and starring a crime lord beset by threats to his power. A book that has language all of its own’ ---Waterstone’s Books Quarterly
`Kevin Barry’s Bohane is a thoroughly well-realised cartoon world. Or graphic novel world, with pictures you create for yourself using the generous array of material Barry puts at your disposal ... Plots and characters from Mad Max and Gangs of New York , and the story songs of Bob Dylan and Tom Waits; atmosphere from Sergio Leone and Tarantino and Jack Yeats paintings. Mechanics from The Wire and Cormac McCarthy. Swagger from showband dance halls ...Beautiful, arresting, precise ... a compelling creation’ ---Irish Times, Keith Ridgway
`City of Bohane is a book fizzing with energy, juiced up on the possibilities of language and replete with a plot that, as Barry admits, could have come straight from John Ford...It’s the language - the spark of the dialogue, the metallic flash and glitter of the novel’s voice, the pleasure of its patois - that I’m hooked by’ ---Glasgow Herald, Interview with Teddy Jamieson
`A grotesquely comedic gothic romp’
---Irish Sunday Times, Interview with Ed Power
