Description
~ The Irish contemporary classic in a beautiful new edition ~
'Weren't you never out for an easy dip?' he asked . . . 'I don't mean the baths,I mean with a pal. For a lark like.'
Out at the Forty Foot, that great jut of Dublin rock where gentlemen bathe in the scandalous nude, two boys meet day after day. There they make a pact: that Doyler will teach Jim to swim, and in a year, they will swim the bay to the distant beacon of the Muglins rock, to raise the Green and claim it for themselves. As a turbulent year drives inexorably towards the Easter Rising of 1916 andIreland sets forth on a path touncertain glory, a tender, secretlove story unfolds. Written with verve and mastery in a modern Irish tradition descended from James Joyce and Flann O'Brien,At Swim, Two Boysis a shimmering novel of unforgettable ambition, intensity and humanity.
'One of the greatest Irish novels ever written' David Marcus
'The music of Jamie O'Neill's prose creates a new Irish symphony' Peter Ackroyd
