Beskrivning

An eerie discovery at a building site triggers a crisis for a garda and his family. A grieving woman comes to believe that she is being possessed by the spirit of her mother, and seeks an unusual exorcism. A brave new world is established as Galway disappears slowly underwater. And a young woman experiences the morning after the night before in a strange, condemned midlands town. In these stories of an Ireland both strange and achingly familiar, Claire-Lise Kieffer animates our collective past, present and future. Humorous, off-kilter, savage and surreal, she depicts the bonds that hold couples, families and communities together with a sharp, humane and deeply original slant.

Recensioner i media

“Beautifully crafted and so contemporary. With a fine eye and fluent prose, Kieffer’s imaginative stories sharpen our vision of the world around us. She is a real and original talent.” Mike McCormack“Claire-Lise Kieffer brings a fresh way of seeing to everything her gaze alights upon. An absorbing collection, as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. A fearless, funny, lyrical new voice.” Danielle McLaughlin“Kieffer’s stories are propulsive and barbed and sleekly written. Like a cracked mirror, her writing brilliantly reflects modern life and modern relationships with a shade of exquisite uncanniness.” John Patrick McHugh
