That old country music [talking book] / Kevin Barry.

Barry, Kevin, author, narrator

Unabridged edition.

Melbourne : Bolinda Audio, 2020.

4 compact discs (3 hr., 57 min.) : digital, stereo

Narrated by the author.

Barry's lyric intensity, the vitality of his comedy, and the darkness of his vision recall the work of masters of the genre like Flannery O'Connor and William Trevor, but he has forged a style which is patently his own. In this rapturous third collection, we encounter a ragbag of West of Ireland characters, many on the cusp between love and catastrophe, heartbreak and epiphany, resignation and hope. These stories show an Ireland in a condition of great flux but also as a place where older rhythms, and an older magic, somehow persist.
