20032309595London and New York: Fourth Estate 2003. First Edition. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Jacket edges lightly bumped. 2003 Hard Cover. 298 pp. "The childhood world of Hugo Hamilton is a confused place: His father a brutal Irish nationalist demands his children speak Gaelic at home whilst his mother a softly spoken German emigrant who escaped Nazi Germany at the beginning of the war encourages them to speak German. All Hugo wants to do is speak English. English is after all what the other children in Dublin speak. English is what they use when they hunt down Hugo or 'Eichmann' as they dub him in the streets of Dublin and English is what they use when they bring him to trial and execute him at a mock seaside court. Out of this fear and confusion Hugo tries to build a balanced view of the world to turn the twisted logic of what he is told into truth. It is a journey that ends in liberation but not before this little boy has uncovered the dark and long-buried secrets that lie at the bottom of his parents' wardrobe.In one of the finest books to have emerged from Ireland since Patrick McCabe's THE BUTCHER BOY and Seamus Deane's READING IN THE DARK acclaimed novelist Hugo Hamilton has finally written his own story.

The motion pictures of that era stumbling perhaps across a new poetics projected gorgeous fantasies which soared beyond the plots and elaborate sets even beyond the luminous glamour of the stars. Once on film subjects had a beguiling sense of drifting through space as though painted by a casual barely visible presence. And in truth the visual intelligence behind these films was often one of genius; genius which could dream and still control a new technology. McGraw-Hill Book Company hardcover books
