Über diesen Titel
Robert Sheehan is one of Ireland’s brightest stars of the screen, both at home and abroad. Best known for his roles in Love/Hate and The Umbrella Academy, Sheehan has received widespread critical acclaim for his acting talent
In his debut collection of short stories, Robert Sheehan disappears into characters, challenging the complacencies of everyday experience, often from entirely unexpected angles.
Informed by the author’s peripatetic life, Disappearing Act reflects on the absurdity of human behaviour. Sheehan delves deep into his characters’ streams of self-talk and self-imposed delusions, exploring the dark impulses that lurk below the shiny surfaces of many outwardly normal lives.
Dark, provocative and often humorous, the collection will stay with the listener long after the audiobook is finished.

Kritikerstimmen
“A whacked-out kaleidoscopic miasma of delightful abandon and fun.... Leaves the reader amused, exhilarated and really quite delighted…you’ve seen Sheehan act—now watch him dazzle.” (Patrick McCabe)
“A dazzlingly eclectic collection of short stories.” (Ben Elton)
“Lots of great stories and voices. Reminded me of Irvine Welsh’s short stories.” (Frankie Boyle)
One of my favourite stories is "Rose" because of its unique gloomy and compelling vibe to it. Dramatically and melancholically beautiful due to Robert Sheehan' s totally infatuating voice.
As a well-balanced counterpart serves "We are all alive at the same time hurtling through space". While the title could serve as a catchy introduction to a philosophical discussion of our existence in this time-and-space reality, the story itself is light-hearted and reliably manages to put a smile on my face whenever I listen to it.
Entertaining, beautifully told, highly recommended
