Items related to The Salesman
It's Dublin, June 1995, the hottest summer since records began. But Billy Sweeney, a middle aged salesman with a failed marriage, a faltering career and a tumbledown house, has more than weather on his mind. His youngest daughter lies in a coma in hospital following a mysterious attack on the petrol station where she worked. Devastated by the unfolding consequences of a hot, voilent night, frustrated by officaldom and failed by the system, Billy finally tires of seeking legal justice. He decides to take the law into his own hands, but when his plans go spectacularly wrong, the results are terrifying, often bleakly hilarious and in the end unforgettably chilling.

Review:
"[A] gripping and moving thriller" (Guardian)
"Like other young Irish writers, O'Connor brings into view a sharp and harsh image of contemporary Ireland. But this carries with it a feeling of emotional credibility not found in more traditional and stereotypical images of Irish life. It also brings a deeply ironic black humour of which the novel is full" (Scotsman)
"Very near perfection. You’ll be on the edge of your seat." (The Literary Review)
