Bøger af Donal Ryan

I 1973 tager 20-årige Moll Gladny morgenbussen væk fra landsbyen. Fem år forløber uden en lyd. Forældrene Paddy og Kit forsøger at leve med det uforståelige tab. Snakken går i det lille samfund, men også den forstummer. Så en morgen dukker Moll ganske uforklarligt op igen.”Donal Ryan har en særlig sans for forsoningsprocessen, for de umærkelige skift i menneskets sind, der går fra forseelser og fortvivlelse til en form for forløsning” har Wall Street Journal skrevet om dette unge, men allerede velkonsoliderede, irske forfatterskab. En præcis karakterstik for også Ryans nyeste roman, Sælsomme vækster. Sælsomme vækster er en blidt vedholdende fortalt roman om en lillebitte familie på de store saftiggrønne jorder i Tipperary County (hvor også Ryans andre romaner udspiller sig; og den skarpsindige læser vil muligvis spotte en enkelt genganger i alle bøgerne). Et county, der i sig selv er et lillebitte sted i en stor verden i forandring.Donal Ryan er en af de helt store, unge irske forfattere; han har modtaget bl.a. The Guardian First Book Award, EUs Litteraturpris og The Irish Book Awards, været shortlistet til the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award og to gange longlistet til Man Booker prisen. På dansk er endvidere udkommet romanerne Rust; Som røg fra vinden og Fra et smult og stille hav samt novellesamlingen Et sving mod solen.

From the award-winning, Booker longlisted author of the number one bestseller, STRANGE FLOWERS, a searing, jubilant novel about four generations of women and the love and stories that bind them.'One of the finest novelists writing today... a haunting, exquisite masterpiece.' RACHEL JOYCE'A generous mosaic of a novel about the staying power of love and pride and history and family' COLUM McCANNThe Aylward women are mad about each other, but you wouldn't always think it. You'd have to know them to know - in spite of what the neighbours might say about raised voices and dramatic scenes - that their house is a place of peace, filled with love, a refuge from the sadness and cruelty of the world. Their story begins at an end and ends at a beginning. It's a story of terrible betrayals and fierce loyalties, of isolation and togetherness, of transgression, forgiveness, desire, and love. About all the things family can be and all the things it sometimes isn't. More than anything, it is an uplifting celebration of fierce, loyal love and the powerful stories that last generations._________ 'His paragraphs are unnoticeably beautiful, his heart always on show' ANNE ENRIGHT'Endlessly surprising and incredibly moving' DAVID NICHOLLS'A life-enhancing talent' SEBASTIAN BARRY 'I would struggle to think of any other Irish author working today who writes with as much compassion as Donal Ryan' LOUISE O'NEILL

Sjette bog på dansk af multi-prisvindende Donal Ryan er en tumultarisk samtidsfortælling om en håndfuld stærke kvinder i en irsk landsby – hvor alle kender alle – nogle af dem tilbageholdende og stille, andre med et ordforråd så sprængfyldt af bandeord, at man bliver aldeles stakåndet. The Washington Post skriver om romanen: ”Et lille irsk mirakel … der er indlejret så meget visdom på disse sider – om at leve og om at skrive … Ryan har sin helt egen følelsesmæssige spændvidde og særlige måde at fange storheden i det, der kunne ligne små liv, men ikke er det.” Har du ikke allerede læst resten af Donal Ryans forfatterskab, er det hermed anbefalet! Og hvis du har, vil du efterhånden begynde at genkende flere af de meget menneskelige indbyggere i County Tipperary, Irland; alle bøgerne rummer selvstændige historier, mens personernes liv overlapper hinanden, som de nu gør, når man bor i mindre bysamfund.

"Poetisk, kraftfuld og hjerteskærende" The Times ”En raffineret roman” Kristian Ditlev Jensen, Weekendavisen ”Irlands store samtidsfortæller holder niveauet … associerer utvungent i en bevidsthedsstrøm, der leder tankerne hen på James Joyce og Virginia Woolf” * * * * * Jyllands-Posten Virkelige begivenheder (en artikel i avisen) satte Donal Ryan i gang med denne roman, som The Observer fulgte på vej med ordene ”hårdtslående og opløftende”. En roman om, hvordan vi (ikke) tager os af hinanden. ”Donal Ryan har en særlig sans for forsoningsprocessen, for de umærkelig skift i mennesket hjerte, der går fra forseelser og fortvivlelse til en form for forløsning” Wall Street Journal Donal Ryan er en af de helt store, unge irske forfattere; han har modtaget bl.a.

Vinder af THE GUARDIAN FIRST BOOK AWARD - BOOK OF THE YEAR og THE IRISH BOOK AWARD. Det økonomiske kollaps og finanskrisen forårsager farlige spændinger mellem indbyggerne i en lille by. Grådighed graver grøfter mellem tidligere venner. Arbejdsløshed, sorte penge, et mord og en barne­bortførelse sender chokbølger gennem det lille samfund.ANMELDERNE SKREV"Det er en fabelagtig bog. Lille af sideomfang men stor i klogskab (...) Det er en klog bog, der efterlader dig svimmel og med meget at tænke over." - Nordjyske Stiftstidende"Donal Ryans kakofoni af stemmer - 21 i alt - er blevet sammenlignet med andre garvede, irske prosaforfattere, men også med selveste den walisiske lyriks konge, Dylan Thomas, som i Under mælkeskoven mestrer noget af det samme. Og man forstår det. Kunsten er på én gang at fortælle en samlet historie og separere stemmerne. Det lykkes flot. Ikke uden grund har Ryan vundet både The Guardians debutpris og The Irish Book Award."- Weekendavisen"En gang imellem kommer en roman, som har den nødvendige tænding og forfriskende nye greb om tingene til at kickstarte socialrealismen på ny. At dømme efter de priser, Donal Ryan har modtaget, har hans bog i Irland haft en rolle, som kan sammenlignes med Jan Sonnergaards ' Radiator' herhjemme."- 4 hjerter, Politiken
