Review
'A Goat's Song, the story of two savage break-ups, is a rare and powerful book . . . At the end, intellectually aroused, emotionally wrenched, stunned with the imagery of place and drink and crumpled hopes, I was literally shaking.' (E. Annie Proulx)
'A Goat's Song is one of the big Irish novels. It's a wrangle, an existential tussle, one of those books that makes its own language.' (Anne Enright)
'It is a beautiful piece of work; no doubt about it, the real stuff.' (James Kelman)
'I have read A Goat's Song three times now and I am going back to read it again . . . it haunts my dreams.' (Patrick McCabe)
'It is in its scope that A Goat's Song is most impressive. Healy interweaves a not quite documentary verisimilitude of landscape with the taut strands of the novel's strident, yet cloistered romance. His portrayal of the myths of Belfast and the West coast pierces through the stereotypes, while helping us to see clearly the justification for their existence . . . This wonderful celebration and lament creates its own hunger, its own momentum.' (Tom Adair Independent)
Book Description
