Resurrection Man

Achingly exquisite prose as concentrated as poetry, as unfailing an ear for the cadences and quirks of Belfast dialogue as Roddy Doyle has for Dublin and a fatalistic sense of suspense * Sunday Times *Impressively confident … as lean and grimly purposeful a book as the demon-driven terrorist it sets out to explore * Jonathan Coe *One of the most outstanding pieces of Irish fiction to come along in years * Irish Times *A fascinating tale about secrets, repression and the falsity of history * Guardian Books of the Year *A very powerful and impressive book * The Critic *

Eoin McNamee is the author of eight novels including Resurrection Man, later filmed, and the Blue Trilogy. His work has been nominated for and won many major prizes including the Man Booker Prize, the Gordon Burn Prize, the Kerry Fiction Prize, the Imison Award and the CWA Steel Dagger. Liam McIllvaney said of McNamee’s prose that it has the ‘cadenced majesty of McCarthy or DeLillo, but the vision it enacts is all his own.’
