Marcus Conway has come a long way to stand in the kitchen of his home and remember the rhythms and routines of his life. Considering with his engineer's mind how things are constructed - bridges, banking systems, marriages - and how they may come apart.

Mike McCormack captures with tenderness and feeling, in continuous, flowing prose, a whole life, suspended in a single hour.

Recensies van critici

"Excellence is always rare and often unexpected: we don't necessarily expect masterpieces even from the great. Mike McCormack's Solar Bones is exceptional indeed: an extraordinary novel by a writer not yet famous but surely destined to be acclaimed by anyone who believes that the novel is not dead"
"Pure enchantment from an otherworldly talent. I admired the hell out of this book" (ELEANOR CATTON, Man Booker Prize-winning author of THE LUMINARIES)
"Wonderfully original, distinctly contemporary . . . delivered in lucid, lyrical prose . . . A pleasure to read"
"McCormack has always been among the most adventurous and ambitious Irish writers. Solar Bones, written in one single sonorous sentence, tells the story of a family in contemporary Ireland" (COLM TÓIBÍN)
"The writing catches fire as we draw near to the void, pass over into death itself, and therein confront the truth that even in a fallen universe, when all distractions tumble away, the only adequate response to our being is astonishment"
"Exhilarating" (LISA McINERNEY)
"Hauntingly sad, but also frequently very funny - Proust reconfigured by Flann O'Brien" (Literary Review)
"Beautiful . . . Compulsive"
"This is prose that reads as if it is being thought . . . reduced me to tears"
"A masterpiece" (Blake Morrison)

Meest relevant
As odd as the one sentence style is, it works and makes the book hard to put down. There is plenty of plot in it for a stream-of-consciousness novel.

Stylistically interesting
