In this third collection, That Old Country Music, we encounter a ragbag of West of Ireland characters, many on the cusp between love and catastrophe, heartbreak and epiphany, resignation and hope. These stories show an Ireland in a condition of great flux but also as a place where older rhythms, and an older magic, somehow persist.

In the dark waiting room of the ferry terminal in the sketchy Spanish port of Algeciras, two aging Irishmen-- Maurice Hearne and Charlie Redmond, longtime partners in the lucrative and dangerous enterprise of smuggling drugs-- sit at night, none too patiently. It is October 23, 2018, and they are expecting Maurice's estranged daughter, Dilly, to either arrive on a boat coming from Tangier or depart on one heading there. Their conversations cause them to excavate their shared history of violence, romance, mutual betrayals and serial exiles. -- adapted from jacket

Broukobol se točí kolem postavy Johna Lennona, člena legendární britské kapely Beatles. Zachycuje bývalého Brouka v roce 1978, na sklonku života i kariéry, a splétáním fikce a faktu vytváří jakýsi portrét umělce v neplodných letech. Je to ovšem portrét komicky zatížený osobností vypravěče. Ten se při svém putování v Lennonových stopách vypravuje do tajemných míst – včetně jednoho pustého západoirského ostrova –, v nichž je zvláštním způsobem polapena minulost: lze ji tam odkoukat a odposlouchat, a tak ji znovu prožít. Broukobol je vlastně polyfonní skladba v próze, nahrávka koncertu odposlechnutých hlasů – včetně mistrně zachyceného hlasu samotného Lennona.

Edited by award winning novelist and short story writer, this volume seeks to offer fresh renditions to the Irish story - angles, approaches, and modes of attack.
