About this product
Product Information
One of The New York Times Book Review' s 10 Best Books of 2019 One of The New York Times Book Review 's 100 Notable Books of 2019 Longlisted for The Booker Prize From the acclaimed author of the international sensations City of Bohane and Beatlebone, a striking and gorgeous new novel of two aging criminals at the tail ends of their damage-filled careers. A superbly melancholic melody of a novel full of beautiful phrases and terrible men. In the dark waiting room of the ferry terminal in the sketchy Spanish port of Algeciras, two aging Irishmen -- Maurice Hearne and Charlie Redmond, longtime partners in the lucrative and dangerous enterprise of smuggling drugs -- sit at night, none too patiently. It is October 23, 2018, and they are expecting Maurice's estranged daughter, Dilly, to either arrive on a boat coming from Tangier or depart on one heading there. This nocturnal vigil will initiate an extraordinary journey back in time to excavate their shared history of violence, romance, mutual betrayals and serial exiles, rendered with the dark humor and the hardboiled Hibernian lyricism that have made Kevin Barry one of the most striking and admired fiction writers at work today.

Reviews
"Try the name Flann O'Brien. Try James Joyce. Try Roddy Doyle. Try Patrick McCabe. Try Wilde, try McGahern, try Behan. And now try the name Kevin Barry. See how it fits in perfectly among the others--Kevin Barry is one of the most original, daring, and seriously funny writers ever to come out of Ireland. I'd walk a hundred miles for a new Barry book and I would make the happy journey home, laughing." --COLUM McCANN, author of Let the Great World Spin "You read this, and you can tell Barry doesn't take his sentences lightly. It'd kill him to mess one up. And he doesn't waste them. So what you get is his style's flawless, and yet it isn't soft. There isn't anything nice about the story, just that it's told beautifully." --NICO WALKER, author of Cherry "It's a Kevin Barry novel, so the brilliance is expected; everything else is a brilliant surprise." --RODDY DOYLE, author of Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha "I devoured Night Boat to Tangier . I loved the potent truth of it all, drenched in damage and romance. The Barry turn of phrase is a true wonder of this world." --MAX PORTER, author of Grief is the Thing With Feathers "A bloody mighty novel. It's audacious, but also it's Kevin Barry at his most tender. The novel carries a beautiful, mournful undertow to it, which is particularly affecting in a book so heavy with old myth and new poetry. May he keep twisting literature forever." --LISA McINERNEY, author of The Glorious Heresies "Wildly and inventively coarse, and something to behold. As far as bleak Irish fiction goes, this is black tar heroin." -- Publishers Weekly "If the set-up evokes Beckett the dramatist, the language of Night Boat to Tangier is much more like that of Beckett the novelist. . .Dense and evocative. . .This is rich fare." -- Financial Times , London, Advance praise for Kevin Barry's NIGHT BOAT TO TANGIER "Try the name Flann O'Brien. Try James Joyce. Try Roddy Doyle. Try Patrick McCabe. Try Wilde, try McGahern, try Behan. And now try the name Kevin Barry.

May he keep twisting literature forever." --LISA McINERNEY, author of the Women's Prize for Fiction-winning The Glorious Heresies "There's plenty of sex, drugs, death and magic in Night Boat to Tangier , but above all it is a biting, black comedy of manners, driven by the profane dance of gangster etiquette." --COLIN BARRETT, author of Young Skins "The gods of literature, who have so much love for Ireland, are sweet on Kevin Barry." --RICHARD BEARD, author of The Day That Went Missing "Wildly and inventively coarse, and something to behold.

May he keep twisting literature forever." --LISA McINERNEY, author of The Glorious Heresies "[Barry] is a writer of inspired prose, a funny and perceptive artist who can imbue a small story with tremendous depth. . .A sad lyrical beauty of a novel about regret, from a dependably entertaining and perceptive writer." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "Wildly and inventively coarse, and something to behold. As far as bleak Irish fiction goes, this is black tar heroin." -- Publishers Weekly "Deeply satisfying. . .magical. . .Barry's narrative pacing creates and then brilliantly settles the tensions between his characters.
