Product Description

Synopsis

This story collection carries us like an outgoing tide, on a wave retreating from the underworld of 21st century London to a Dublin hinterland in the 1970's and beyond, to the time of coalmen, tenements, and bicycles. "They're all here, the charmers, the snakes, the innocent, the complaisant, the guilt-ridden and the guilty, the Brothers, the whores, the poor and the young, the invulnerable, the jailed and the dead, the green and the truant, the music box and the p.a, the skaters, the crooners, and the pink neon sign that blinks all night, saying keys, keys, keys..."

5.0 out of 5 stars The London Silence, 20 Jul 2005
By C. Edmunds (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Stephen Moran has, rightly, been compared to the young James Joyce. His writing has a marvellous sense of place; anyone familiar with the London underground will find themselves smiling and nodding their head immediately - the 'initial sound of the wind howling, turned to a rhythmic hammering' is a perfect description of the approach of the tube train, told with Moran's trademark economy of words and ability to capture the essence of the moment. I haven't been in London in years, but he took me there, effortlessly and effectively in writing of rare wit and intelligence.
