Description
“Hero Town is the perfect retrospective: here the town is the hero, a character of epic and comic proportions… It may come to be recognized as MacMahon’s masterpiece.” Professor Bernard O’Donohue
"For the course of a calendar year, Peter Mulrooney, the musing pedagogue, saunters through the streets and the people, looking at things and leaving them so. They talk to him; he listens, and in his ears we hear the authentic voice of local Ireland, all its tics and phrases and catchcalls. Like Joyce, this wonderful, excellently structured book comes alive when you read it aloud. " Frank Delaney, Sunday Independent
“Hero Town is a Ulysses for Listowel and it is more than a novel; it is a work of philosophy, the philosophy of a ‘wild, old man’, to quote Yeats." Gabriel Fitzmaurice |
