The Joy of Bleak,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Love and Sleep (Paperback)
Well-written novel. Language beautiful, arresting and succinct. This is the book's main attraction. The activity (there is no plot) depends a lot on the fact of the war in the North of Ireland being of interest in itself, which it isn't necessarily. The characters caught within the hopelessness of their social and political milieu are solid, young, and even passionate in an odd way, if passion can have a negative value. In a world of tranquillising mush that often passes for fiction, the strength of this work is in its tonal bleakness.
