Über diesen Titel
A collection of short stories of rural Ireland in the classic Irish mode: full of love (and sex), melancholy and magic, bedecked in some of the most gorgeous prose being written today — from the author of the wildly acclaimed Night Boat to Tangier.
With three novels and two short story collections published, Kevin Barry has steadily established his stature as one of the finest writers not just in Ireland but in the English language. All of his prodigious gifts of language, character, and setting in these 11 exquisite stories transport the listener to an Ireland both timeless and recognizably modern. Shot through with dark humor and the uncanny power of the primal and unchanging Irish landscape, the stories in That Old Country Music represent some of the finest fiction being written today.

Kritikerstimmen
One of NPR's Best Books of the Year
Named a most anticipated book of the year by Vulture, O, The Oprah Magazine, The New York Post, Literary Hub, The Millions, and more
"Barry brilliantly evokes both the good and bad sides of love, and does so with stunningly gorgeous writing.... There's not an aspect of writing that Barry doesn't excel at. His dialogue rings true, and he's amazingly gifted at scene-setting - he evokes both the landscape of western Ireland and the landscape of the human heart beautifully." (NPR)
"I had to quit reading this book the first day I had it in my hands, just so I could have it to read the next day. It's that good." (Richard Ford)
“Coarse and lyrical, arresting and often hilarious. There are verbal titillations and delights on nearly every page, but also an undertow of sorrow.... Barry’s old country music cuts deep into the reader’s heart.” (Washington Post)
