Recenzii


Praise for The Devil I Know:

“This young Irish writer packs a stunning worldly wisdom into her beautiful prose.”— Barbara Kingsolver, New York Times bestselling author of The Poisonwood Bible and Flight Behavior

“Dark, funny and wonderful: The Devil I Know is a shot through the heart of the Irish boom.”—Anne Enright, Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Gathering

“The Devil I Know is smart, funny and stylish, and bang up to the minute. Reading it, one squirms in appalled recognition of the extremes of greed and foolishness of our time, which Claire Kilroy portrays with devilish accuracy.”—John Banville, author of the Man Booker Prize-winning novel The Sea and Ancient Light

“Cryptic and exuberant and angry and allegorical and satirical all at once . . . Kilroy’s darkly comic, clever novel keeps the reader engrossed and aghast, as chaos is piled on top of crisis, fortunes are made and lost in a trice, and the Irish madness of the times runs its course.”—Patricia Craig, The Independent

“A satiric danse macabre of brio and linguistic virtuosity . . . Taps into the darkness of the finest Irish satire.”—Stevie Davies, The Guardian

“Brave and talented . . . the novel is funny and pointed . . . Kilroy’s mix of the pathetic and grotesque is well done . . . well written and fun.”—Vincent Boland, Financial Times

“A perversely entertaining show of how easily men are corrupted by wealth . . . [Kilroy’s] prose flows irresistibly from page to page. . . . A pleasure to read.”—Nick Brodie, Time Out

“At times genuinely creepy . . . Kilroy takes delight in literary allusions and diabolical puns, but despite the humor there’s real fury in her portrayal of the casual greed, corruption and willful delusion that pervaded society ‘like the pox’, creating a belief in a kind of modern alchemy.”—Amber Pearson, Daily Mail

“A tale of our time: a story of lavish greed and selfishness; soullessness and economic devastation. Even the most jaded reader will find something to be appalled by here. . . . Joyously mad prose. [Kilroy’s] writing hops over the darkness in lively, lyrical, sometimes vitriolic leaps.”—Lucy Atkins, Sunday Times

“A well paced and well told cautionary tale, a page-turner with lots of droll moments as the author skewers the moral mindset that both created the Celtic Tiger and then brought it to its knees.”—John Boland, Irish Independent
