Over dit product

Product Information

A surreal and darkly comic collection of stories that offer a fresh and irreverent look at life in contemporary Northern Ireland from "one of the most exciting and original Northern Irish writers of her generation" ( The Sunday Times , London). Humorous and horrifying, tender and absurd, the stories in Quickly, While They Still Have Horses offer a fresh, irreverent look at life in post-conflict Northern Ireland. From first loves to strained relationships, the thrills and terrors of growing up to the dangers and challenges of parenthood, Carson infuses all her stories with empathy, dark wit, and a surreal edge. In "A Certain Degree of Ownership," a distracted couple on a beach fail to notice their baby crawl perilously toward the sea. In "Grand So," the ghost of a car's previous owner haunts the backseat. In "Troubling the Water," a rumor of miraculous healing creates chaos at a public swimming pool. Carson never fails to shock and delight as kids go missing in jungle gyms, a baby washes up on a riverbank in a biscuit tin, and a bloody hand appears (and reappears) in a refrigerator. Every so often, these stories travel into alternate versions of our world where pillars of fire are a new treatment for mental illness and animals deemed nonessential are going extinct by legislative orders. While the legacy of the Troubles is never far from Carson's mind, it is only a backdrop to the worlds she's woven in these stories, driven by characters who feel real enough to touch. This stunning collection marks the arrival of a "bracingly fresh, darkly funny, [and] unwaveringly compassionate" ( The Irish News ) writer to North American readers.

Reviews
"An admirable collection of stories, saturated with acerbic wit and startling empathy." -- Kirkus (starred review), "Oh, the imagination! Oh, the inventiveness! In every zany story. Apparently, there's a branch on the language tree that belongs entirely to Jan Carson." -- Sidik Fofana, author of Stories From the Tenants Downstairs, Praise for Jan Carson "A born storyteller, [Carson's] narratives are uncontainable, fizzing up out of her pages like soda and vinegar in a bottle." -- T he Guardian "Carson proves herself adept at making the familiar marvellously uncanny ... Carson's writing--bracingly fresh, darkly funny, unwaveringly compassionate--represents such a direction in Northern Irish fiction." -- Irish News "Her stories move effortlessly from reality to dystopia to surreal vignettes in a style that recalls the up-and-coming American authors Laura van den Berg and Diane Cook." -- Irish Times
