‘If you’re looking for this century’s Ulysses, look no further’ - Observer
‘Wildly original’ - Times Literary Supplement
Dan Fogarty is visiting his seventy-year-old sister Una, who is living in a care home in Margate. Una has dementia, but she is still able to recall her youth, spent in a hippie commune in South London. A picture of their family’s history begins to emerge; the Fogartys were evicted from their home of Currabawn in Ireland in the 1950s, and both Dan and Una have been haunted by this forced exile.
A sprawling, dazzlingly inventive novel in verse, Poguemahone cements McCabe’s status as one of Ireland’s greatest writers.
Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
Patrick McCabe was born in Clones, County Monaghan. He is the author of The Butcher Boy, which won the Irish Times Literature Prize for Fiction; The Dead School; Breakfast on Pluto and others.
