With hisacclaimed and award-winning collections Young Skins and Homesickness Colin Barrett cemented his reputation as one of contemporary Irish literature's most daring stylists. Praised by Oprah Daily as "a doyen of the sentence," and by the Los Angeles Times asa writer of "unique genius," Barrett now expands his canvas with a debut novel that contains as much grit, plot, and linguistic energy as any of his celebrated short stories. As Ballina prepares for its biggest weekend of the year, introspective loner Dev answers his door on Friday night to find Doll English-younger brother of small-time local dealer Cillian English-bruised and in the clutches of Gabe and Sketch Ferdia, County Mayo's fraternal enforcers and Dev's cousins. Dev's quiet homelife is upturnedas he is quickly and unwillingly drawn headlong into the Ferdias' frenetic revenge plot against Cillian. Meanwhile, Doll's girlfriend, seventeen-year-old Nicky, reeling from a fractious Friday and plagued by ghosts and tragedy of her own, sets out on a feverish mission to save Doll, even as she questions her future in Ballina. Set against Barrett's trademark depictions of small-town Irish life, Wild Houses is a thrillingly told story of two outsiders striving to find themselves as their worlds collapse in chaos and violence"-- $c Provided by publisher. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft $9 188987 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 lcgft $9 91135 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $9 200624 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Barrett, Colin, 1982- $t Wild houses. $b First Grove Atlantic hardcover edition $d New York : Grove Press, 2024 $z 9780802160959 $w (DLC) 2023049611 941 $a 9 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240502010413.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045454.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409013007.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240404010420.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240402013415.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240402012834.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240402012100.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240402011813.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20231121010155.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BA0C7D26883B11EEBC107B3452ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
