Description
Solar Bones is a masterful novel that builds its own style and language one broken line at a time. With spare, precise, and poetic prose, Mike McCormack gets to the heart of what is happening all around us.
The story revolves around Marcus Conway's life in rural Ireland, as he recalls his childhood memories, work as a civil engineer, and transformations in the local economy. His thoughts move outward to the vast systems of time and history that hold us all, surveying the linked circumstances that brought him to this single moment.
In flowing prose, Conway reflects on existence, inspiring both terror and gratitude. This is a vital, tender, and death-haunted work by one of Ireland's most important contemporary writers, celebrating the unexpected beauty of life and language.
