SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Bureau - Eoin McNamee
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Eoin McNamee to celebrate the launch of his new novel\, The Bureau\, published by Riverrun (Quercus). Book your free ticket here. \nAbout The Bureau: \nLorraine would say afterwards that she was smitten straight off with Paddy Farrell. You could tell that he was occupying the room in a different way\, he found the spaces that fitted him. She was the kind of girl the papers called vivacious\, always a bit of dazzle to her. \nCould she not see there was death about him? Could he not see there was death about her? Paddy worked the border\, a place of road closures\, hijackings\, sudden death. Everything bootleg and tawdry\, nobody is saying that the law is paid off but it is. This is strange terrain\, unsolid\, ghosted through. \nThere’s illicit cash coming across the border and Brendan’s backstreet Bureau de Change is the place to launder it. Brendan knows the rogue lawyers\, the nerve shot policemen\, the alcoholic judges and he doesn’t care about getting caught. For the Bureau crew getting caught is only the start of the game. \nPaddy and his associates were a ragged band and honourless and their worth to themselves was measured in thievery and fraud. But Lorraine was not a girl to be treated lightly. She’s cast as a minx\, a criminal’s moll but she’s bought a shotgun. \nAnd she’s bought a grave. \nIt’s a great book…the underlying menace\, the threats\, the ghostliness\, and the border as a character itself. It’s searing\, elegaic\, haunting\, poetic\, scary. And sad. – Anna Burns \nFor over thirty years\, Eoin McNamee has been one of the outstanding writers of his generation. The Bureau is his most personal and heartbreaking novel yet\, and stands shoulder to shoulder with his finest work. – David Peace
