Description "A novel of never-ending pleasure . . . superbly innovative. It is a work of rare and irreverent intelligence." Le Figaro
"Raymo's gift is to bring to life that distant time, vividly but without straining the reader's credulity. There are many strands in this fine novel . . . and they are skilfully put together in a vigorous language that invokes a fresh, unexplored Europe of 1,000 years ago." The Sunday Tribune
Author Chet Raymo’s novel, The Dork of Cork, was translated into fourteen languages and filmed as Frankie Starlight. The Los Angeles Times described it as "Moving... memorable... a richly poetic book about beauty and destiny, at once compelling and complex." His acclaimed first novel, In the Falcon's Claw was also widely published in translation and described by Le Figaro Litteraire as "A novel of never-ending pleasure... superbly innovative."
A winner of a Lannan Literary Award, his non-fiction includes Skeptics and True Believers, The Soul of the Night, Honey from Stone, and The Path: A one-mile walk through the universe.
"A travel book about the world of ideas. Raymo uses the natural setting of Dingle as a place in which he asks you to explore with him through his own private universe." Irish Echo
