POGUEMAHONE by Patrick McCabe
Follow Dan Fogarty’s anarchic tale as he pieces together the history of his family. How his parents and Aunt Nano are exiled from a small Irish village to the hard immigrant life in England. How Dan and his sister Una live in a hippie squat haunted by vindictive ghosts in Kilburn in the early 1970s. And how all that survives now of those sex-and-drug-soaked times are unspooling memories.
And what of Dan himself? Who is he really? What is his role as the story becomes stranger and more sinister?
Poguemahone is a wild, shape-shifting epic from one of modern Ireland's greatest writers. A wild, free-verse monologue steeped in music and folklore, crammed with characters, both real and imagined, on a scale Patrick McCabe has never attempted before.
