City of Bohane

City of Bohane, Kevin Barry, 2011, Greywolf Press, Genre: Fiction. 277 pages. Finished 5/12/14.

LesOpinion: An impossibly macho novel set in a dystopian future Ireland, City of Bohane depicts an urban warzone populated by gangs, prostitutes, and drug dealers. Its characters are violent, colorful, and hateful to a one. The only way to make sense of the dense dialect is to read it aloud in your best "magically delicious!" Irish brogue.
