Synopsis

Finbar's Hotel is a novel written by seven of Ireland's leading novelists including Roddy Doyle and Colm Toibin. The story is centred around the occupants of an imaginary hotel in Dublin and each of the authors have written an unidentified chapter, leaving it up to the reader to guess who wrote each.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Since the 1920s Finbar's Hotel has stood proudly on Dublin's quays, but its glory days have long since passed it by. Now it is the haunt of surreptitious priests, prostitutes, and bewildered tourists. Soon its rock-star owner will tear the building down, but not until an astonishing array of guests-a barman on the make, a paranoid art thief stalking the corridors, a grieving woman who dreams of red-haired men, a desperate, middle-aged man out for one wild night, and other habitu?s of Dublin's nightlife-pass through for one last night within its seedy walls. From room to room, and from tale to tale, we encounter the dazzling cosmos of Irish life as told by seven of Ireland's most famous storytellers: Roddy Doyle, Colm To'b'n, Jennifer Johnston, Hugo Hamilton, Anne Enright, Joseph O'Connor, and Dermot Bolger. A smash bestseller in the U.K., Finbar's Hotel is an extraordinary interwoven work of fiction, pulsating with humor and suspense.

Revue de presse

“A wonderfully eclectic cast of characters and an intriguing literary puzzle."—The Guardian (London)
“Any young Irish filmmaker worth his salt ought to be scrabbling for the rights. The reader leaves Finbar's decaying premises enthusing over the state of modern Irish writing."—The Spectator
