Synopsis
Billy OCallaghans writing evokes a sense of longing for place and the familiar His characters are rendered with a lyrical stoicism that lends dignity to all our struggles. Suzanne McConnell Bellevue Literary Review Billys short stories are always a pleasure to read John Dolan Evening EchoIn Exile is an eclectic collection of short stories from one of Irelands brightest literary talents. A marriage is arranged, shot-gun style; a terrorist is called upon for one last horrific job; a soldier recalls the trauma of his first kill; an artist, out of pity and loneliness, befriends a hunchback. And in the title story, a man who has built a comfortable life for himself is given a stark reminder of his past, the things from which he has been saved and what he has lost. These poignant stories give a rare and evocative glimpse into the days and nights of lost people the weary and the vulnerable. Those whose lives have been wrenched apart, either by the inexorable tilt towards progress, or by the ghosts and shackles of a bygone era.
