About the Book

‘If you’re looking for this century’s Ulysses, look no further’ - Observer

‘Wildly original’
- Times Literary Supplement

Dan Fogarty is visiting his seventy-year-old sister Una, who is living in a care home in Margate. Una has dementia, but she is still able to recall her youth, spent in a hippie commune in South London. A picture of their family’s history begins to emerge; the Fogartys were evicted from their home of Currabawn in Ireland in the 1950s, and both Dan and Una have been haunted by this forced exile.

A sprawling, dazzlingly inventive novel in verse, Poguemahone cements McCabe’s status as one of Ireland’s greatest writers.

Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.

Review :
If you’re looking for this century’s Ulysses, look no further . . . a stunningly lyrical novel Poguemahone is a blistering, brilliant ballad . . . The characters are electric, the narrative fuelled with a brilliant frenetic energy — I loved this great song. McCabe is truly original McCabe may be right when he claims that Poguemahone is his best book: it is startlingly original, moving, funny, frightening and beautiful A bleakly comic, wildly original 600-page epic about loss, exile and mental illness . . . Poguemahone is, in content and execution, frequently astonishing . . . in its haunting strangeness and blazing originality, it deserves far more than a cult following Poguemahone, living up to its author’s reputation, is daring, studded with brilliance Modernist and eager to push the boundaries of his own art and the art form of the novel, here is a novelist and novel to celebrate in all their ribald, audacious, outrageous, and compelling brilliance A marvel; McCabe’s inventive use of enjambment and stanza layout push the boundaries of what is possible in narrative storytelling . . . A moving saga of youth, age, and memory—by turns achingly poetic, knowingly philosophical, and bitterly funny Lively and ambitious in form, this admirably extends the range of McCabe’s career-long examination of familial and childhood trauma
