Jordan's films include Angel, the Academy Award-winning The Crying Game, Michael Collins and The Butcher Boy.
Recenzii
Gripping, eerie and poignant, a love story of music, storytelling and a secret past with a dark twist that brings redemption. Elegant and lyrical, this is a really beautiful novel.
In this subtle and affecting novel, where damaged people are linked by music, fractured memory and a kind of magic, Neil Jordan delivers the exactness of observation and economical punch which has always characterised his fiction.
Magical and compelling from beginning to end... a fairy tale for our times.
This is a marvellous novel - literally, for it is filled with marvels. Neil Jordan is best known these days as a film-maker, but as The Well of Saint Nobody vigorously attests, he has lost none of his skills, of his magical skills, as a novelist.
The Well of Saint Nobody is a gentle, compassionate exploration of love and loneliness in later life.
[An] eloquent and moving story, tinged with nostalgia, the author confirms his status as a visionary of both page and screen. Highly recommended
A virtuoso performance
PRAISE FOR NEIL JORDAN: 'One of the most inventive artists of our day' John Banville. 'This strange relationship - of indenture, but also of mutual need - defines this thrillingly written, gripping tale that revisits many of Jordan's lifelong preoccupations with class, Irishness and sexuality to powerful moving effect' Observer. 'The historical research is evident [and] as with his previous novels, Jordan creates an evocative sense of time and place... Although the book is an odyssey, tracking thousands of miles across the globe, the pace is leisurely' The Times. 'Jordan is a writer of uncommon talent, particularly around pacing and visual description' Irish Times. 'An expertly spun ballad defined by themes of belonging, illusion and, fundamentally, fidelity'
