DARK LIES THE ISLAND
Book ID/图书代码： 00200013B64875
English Summary/英文概要： A kiss that just won’t happen. A disco at the end of the world. A teenage goth on a terror mission. And OAP kiddie-snatchers, and scouse real-ale enthusiasts, and occult weirdness in the backwoods...
Dark Lies the Island is a collection of unpredictable stories about love and cruelty, crimes, desperation, and hope from the man Irvine Welsh has described as ’the most arresting and original writer to emerge from these islands in years’. Every page is shot through with the riotous humour, sympathy and blistering language that mark Kevin Barry as a pure entertainer and a unique teller of tales.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个永远不会发生的吻。在世界尽头的迪斯科舞厅。一个执行恐怖任务的哥特少年。和一名领取养老金的小孩抢劫犯，和爱喝啤的利物浦人，以及荒原中的神秘怪诞。。
欧文•威尔士(Irvine Welsh)将《黑暗笼罩的小岛》的创作者，描述为“多年来在这些岛屿上出现的最具吸引力、最具独创性的作家”。每一页都充斥着疯狂的幽默、同情和尖锐的语言，这标志着凯文•巴里(Kevin Barry)是一个纯粹的表演者和独特的故事讲述者。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况："The most exciting Irish short story writer of his generation, one whose best work rivals William Trevor and John McGahern. His language is thrilling: Barry has a Martin Amis-style aversion to writing so much as one dull sentence. Talent this raw and natural simply cannot be taught." (John Burns Sunday Times)
"Kevin Barry’s best short stories are like a spade to the face... Short-story writers are often talented phrasemakers, but only the best ensure each phase is as hardworking as it is attractive... Barry earns comparison with the great and shamefully neglected VS Pritchett, whose short stories also employed pronounced comic means for serious, compassionate ends." (Chris Power Guardian)
"Lingers like the best kind of novel." (Metro)
