Book by McGinley Patrick
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
A truly funny and stunningly well-told tale of murder in a small Irish village in Donegal, Bogmail is a classic of modern Irish literature. Set in a remote village, the action begins with a murder when Roarty, a publican and former priest, kills his bartender then buries his body in a bog. It's not long before Roarty starts getting blackmail letters, and matters quickly spiral out of his control. Twisty, turny and enlivened with colour that echoes the landscape and surroundings, Bogmail was Patrick McGinley's first novel, yet it remains just as fresh today as the day it first appeared.
Patrick McGinley settled in Britain in the 1960s and now lives in Kent. His eight novels include Foggage, The Trick of the Ga Bolga, The Lost Soldier s Song and Goosefoot, which was made into a film. New Island published his memoir of growing up in Donegal That Unearthly Valley in 2011. His new book, Cold Spring, will be published by New Island in March

(8.25 x 5.5 x 0.8 inches). 259 pages. Language: English Weight: 12.5 ounces. Paperback. Patrick McGinley (born 1937) was born in Glencolumbkille, Ireland. After teaching in Ireland, McGinley moved to England in the 1960s and settled in Kent. He he then pursued a career as a publisher and author. Among his strongest literary influences is his Irish predecessor Flann O'Brien. Bogmail, his first novel, is a sort of 'mystery' but it is also an incredibly comical look at life in a small Irish village. It has some of the most amusing dialogue I've read anywhere as the various local characters philosophize over pints of stout at the local pub. The dialogue is witty and would have made a great screenplay so I'm surprised this was never picked up as a film. The people are all real "characters" and the story , set in rural Donegal , digresses enough to include philosophical musings by the local inhabitants as well as an Englishman recently transplanted. The mystery drives the plot along briskly but the real joy of this book is the interaction between the some marvelously quirky characters. First Edition USA (1981), so stated. Copyright is 1978.
