Kevin Barry

John just wants to spend three days alone on his island - but getting there isn't easy. Kevin Barry's BEATLEBONE is a portrait of an artist at a time of creative strife, and is a sad and beautiful new comedy from one of the most gifted stylists at work. One of the most acclaimed novels of the year, it has already won the Goldsmith's Prize. In the New York Times, Steve Earle wrote - "Books like this come along once in a generation."
