Barry Callaghan

All the Lonely People (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Callaghan's writing is wide ranging but often takes on the perspective of a marginalized individual's view of the human experience. These tales are told in a variety of voices: street hustlers, priests, blues singers, Holocaust survivors, cross-dressers, paramilitary snipers, even those we may euphemistically consider the "e;ordinary"e;-all of them authentic, and all would subscribe to the maxim that "e;happiness is overrated."e; The dialogue is true to speech as it is spoken, shot through with humour, piercing sadness and puzzling beauty.
