‘From Out of the City is intricate, outrageous, sophisticated, funny and wonderfully

entertaining: what more could a reader ask?’John Banville

‘A big rip-roar of a novel: deeply nuanced, authentic, madcap, and very, very funny indeed.

From Out of the City subverts itself and diverts us at the very same time: a wonderful new

Irish novel.’ Colum McCann.
