The Journey Home by Dermot Bolger
A re-issue of a classic Bolger novel. 'The best novel about Dublin since Joyce' Irish Independent Francis Hanrahan, the shy child of grey suburban streets, is Francy at home to his country-born parents. But when he meets Shay, an older, wilder image of himself, he becomes Hano, and is cast out into the night-time world of Dublin - a world of all-night drinking sessions in bars and snooker halls, ubiquitous drugs and the stench of political corruption. The Journey Home is the story of a young boy's struggle towards maturity, set against a shocking portrait of Ireland, a tough urban landscape not a rural Eden.
