5.0 out of 5 stars a must read, July 24 2000

By

Lisa Sharp Borger (jacksonvile, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty (Paperback)

this book was recommended to me by a high school teacher who knew that i was interested in irish authors and wanting to explore beyond mccourt,doyle, and oconnor...the writing is totally luminous, lyrical, and totaly like homer...i also likened it to les murray's book called fredy neptune which also involved a world traveler that was like eneas, an innocent. i particularly loved the manner in which eneas was drawn repeatedly to his homeland, hoping that the situation had finally resolved itself...finding that it hadn't, had the courage or whatever to get on with his life...fabulous read.

This review is from: The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty (Paperback)

A beautiful, sad book. Eneas McNulty is an innocent set loose in a world treacherous and unforgiving but he remains gentle, kind and amazingly generous through all that befalls him. A fascinating look at 20th century Ireland through the eyes of a wonderfully realized character.

5.0 out of 5 stars more stars than 5 needed for this novel, Mar 9 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty (Paperback)

This has to be the best novel written, at least in the English language, in the latter half of the 20th century, and I've read A LOT of the best books of this time period. It is simply amazing, and I'm not even going to give a word of it away in this review. It has everything that makes a novel good, but most striking is the sheer poetry of the language. An absolute masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars haunting
I am giving five stars to a book that I thought I did not like when I read it. However, I realized later that I kept thinking about it. Often! Read more

The best. I had the pleasure of spending two weeks in Ireland this summer--my first trip there. It was an illuminating experience, to say the least. Read more
