Recensioner i media

"I believe Death and Nightingales is the finest novel by the greatest living Irish prose writer" -- Alan Warner "Crisp, taut and unsentimental...this tragic tale of gold, prejudice, terrorism, emigration, love and oppression remains an impressive and moving achievement " Observer "A work of the highest literary quality...only a master craftsman could bring a novel so smoothly and devastatingly full circle" Sunday Independent "Death and Nightingales should put Eugene McCabe in the first rank of contemporary Irish novelists" -- John Banville "A miracle of a novel which combines prose of bleak, unadorned beauty with a plot that keeps you up all night wondering how it will end... Clearly one of the masterpieces of the century" -- Colm Toibin
