Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Beatlebone

He will spend three days alone on his island. That is all that he asks . . . John is so many miles from love now and home. This is the story of his strangest trip.

John owns a tiny island off the west coast of Ireland. Maybe it is there that he can at last outrun the shadows of his past.

The tale of a wild journey into the world and a wild journey within, Beatlebone is a mystery box of a novel. It's a portrait of an artist at a time of creative strife. It is most of all a sad and beautiful comedy from one of the most gifted stylists now at work.

Critique Containing Books Beatlebone

This is like a buddy/road trip story, only one of the buds is John Lennon in 1978 trying to get to a remote island in hopes that the solitude will bring him out of his post-Primal Scream writer's block (ah yes, the seventies!), and the other is a local chauffeur/fixer and one of the great Irish characters of all time. Yes, I love this book. Now do yourself a favor and listen to the audiobook, because Kevin Barry himself reads it and he is wonderful!!! You can thank me later.

The silence that holds is easier now and London is pinkly waking. They've been through a lot together. The rattling of the bones; the squalls and the screeching; the occult shimmers; the lonely airs; the sudden madcap waltzes; the hollowed voices; the sibilant hiss; the asylum screams; the wretched moans; the violence, love, and tenderness beatlebone. The first of the buses goes by at a sprightly chug. Beatlebone was on my radar last year, but without ordering it from abroad, I couldn't get a

In the late 1960s John Lennon bought an island off the west coast of Ireland. Most Irish people are aware of it. Ask anyone about John Lennon's island or 'Beatle Island' and they'll know what you're talking about. Beatlebone is a fictionalised tale of John Lennon's attempt to visit his island in 1978 in order to combat his writer's block and to finally have a place to Scream. And it is a masterpiece.The novel is far from conventional. In fact, it won the Goldsmith's Prize, which is an award

He is so many miles from love now and home.This is the story of his strangest trip.*And the season is at its hinge. The moment soon will drop its weight to summer. The river is a rush of voices over its ruts and tunnels into the soft black flesh of the night and woods,*And he has been haunted by his own self for such a long while, he has been endlessly fascinated by his own black self this long whilehe is aching, he is godhead, he is a right bloody monster* On a sour, lonesome note the air moves

I downloaded the e-book of Kevin Barry's "Beatlebone" because I wanted to test my library's e-book platform and it was the only book that came up for the keyword "Beatles" that wasn't already checked out. I figured that as long as I had it for 21 days, I should read it. I did not know that the author is an award-winning Irish writer with a unique style that readers either love or hate. I did both.The story, what there is of it, concerns a fictional trip by John Lennon in 1978 to the Irish island

A writerly, phantastic and somewhat 'flowery' approach to Lennon's complex character. Manages to capture John's idiolect beautifully and allows the (younger) reader a glimpse into the very special mindset and vibes of the '70s. Barry also managed (probably all too successfully for his own good) to immerse himself into the inner turmoils and hauntings of his idol. "Off the hinge" is an expression used regularly here to describe mental states - and quite rightly so. One is tempted to call this a
