Poguemahone

A gripping state-of-the-nation novel in verse by one of Ireland's most important writers, Patrick McCabe.

‘If you’re looking for this century’s Ulysses, look no further’ - Observer

‘Wildly original’ - Times Literary Supplement

Dan Fogarty is visiting his seventy-year-old sister Una, who is living in a care home in Margate. Una has dementia, but she is still able to recall her youth, spent in a hippie commune in South London. A picture of their family’s history begins to emerge; the Fogartys were evicted from their home of Currabawn in Ireland in the 1950s, and both Dan and Una have been haunted by this forced exile.

A sprawling, dazzlingly inventive novel in verse, Poguemahone cements McCabe’s status as one of Ireland’s greatest writers.

Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
