SUMMARY:Saints - Tim MacGabhann in conversation with Wendy Erskine
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the bookshop for an evening with Tim MacGabhann to celebrate the launch of his debut short story collection\, Saints\, published by Scratch Books. \nTim will be in conversation with Wendy Erskine. \n***BOOK YOUR FREE TICKET HERE*** \n \nAbout Saints: \nThe debut collection of short stories from celebrated crime writer Tim MacGabhann. \nNine breathtaking\, gripping and oddly sublime tales of narcos\, cops and addicts in modern-day Mexico. Gritty hard-boiled tales shot through with the hallowed light of the miraculous\, written in MacGabhann’s pyrotechnic exhilarating prose. A constellation of rich\, vivacious stories of sewer diving\, ghosts\, a falling satellite and vengeful pigs. \n‘The stories in Saints are wise\, sad and electric\, gentle and attentive in their depiction of even the most jagged\, destructive impulses of the human heart.’ Colin Barrett \n‘This handful of offbeat lives\, their vivid Mexican setting\, their human light and shade\, are so well rendered they offer a sense of special access to other realities. As in life\, each story is a wormhole to the next\, a connectivity that not only makes a novel of this collection but inflates its reading to four dimensions\, with all the discovery that comes from entering a new milieu in person. For me this book does the heavy lifting of literature: more than a good read – it’s a parallel life.’ D.B.C. Pierre \n‘Tim MacGabhann works from an imaginative world that does not rest. His living characters open up their hearts to him\, and he reports back to us – a work of sublime devotion to a place and a moment that has been rendered in perfect detail. I go back to these stories long after reading them\, and wonder how those people are. It’s a sweet and violent magic\, and I remain gladly under its spell.’ Ben Pester \nAbout the author: \nTim MacGabhann is an Irish writer who divides his time between the UK and Mexico City. His first two novels\, Call Him Mine and How to Be Nowhere\, were published by Weidenfeld and Nicholson. Other fiction\, non-fiction and poetry has also appeared in The Stinging Fly\, The Dublin Review\, The Tangerine\, Magma\, Poetry Ireland Review\, and The Rialto\, among others.
