For The Good Times - David Keenan

Descriere For The Good Times - David Keenan

WINNER OF THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2019 \n \n From the author of This Is Memorial Device. \n \n 'A gasp-inducing thrill of a ride.' i Independent \n \n 'An exhilarating novel, burning with rage, danger and dark humour.' Literary Review \n \n 'Remarkable . . . demented brilliance.' Scotland on Sunday \n \n Belfast, 1970s: Sammy and his three friends live in an impoverished area of the city that has become the epicentre of a country seemingly intent on cannibalising itself. They love sharp clothes, a good drink, and the songs of Perry Como, whose commitment to clean living holds up a dissonant mirror to their own attempts to rise above their circumstances. They dream of a Free State, and their methods for achieving this are uncompromising. But For the Good Times is not just a novel about the IRA. It is about the heartbreak and devastation that commitment to 'the cause' can bring; of violence and betrayal, breakdown and rebirth. \n
