Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"If the words tell the story of the voiceless, the bleak, lovely photographs that accompany it show their faces... Fiction rarely gets as close to the messy, glorious truth, as do memories and photographs. This rare novel dares to use both" (Charlotte Mendelson Times Literary Supplement)

"Speaks in the manner of an important work of art, memorably and beautifully" (Anthony Cronin Sunday Independent)

"There are not many books [this year] that seem to me written with comparable force [or] depth of feeling" (Dan Jacobson Sunday Telegraph)

"What Pyke and O'Grady have done is read our imagination" (Dermot Healy Sunday Tribune)

Reseña del editor:

I Could Read The Sky tells of one man's journey from the West of Ireland to the fields and boxing-booths and building sites of England. Now, at the century's end, he finds himself alone, looking back, struggling to make sense of a life of unforgotten loveliness and loss. Exploring themes of love, dislocation and yearning, with stark, clear prose and stunning photographs, this novel explores the experience of Irish emigration as never before.
