Robert MacLiam Wilsonin "Eureka Street" kuvaa Belfastin elämää poliittisten levottomuuksien keskellä tarkkanäköisesti ja runsaalla huumorilla.
Eureka Street is a story of Belfast in the six months just before and after the latest ceasefires. It is the story of Chuckie Lurgan, fat, Protestant and poor, who suddenly becomes wealthy by various legal but immoral means; and of Jake Jackson, Catholic, reformed tough guy, who has been abandoned by his English girlfriend and is looking for love. Meanwhile the strange letters 'OTG' start appearing on walls and paving stones throughout the city.
'Shocking and reassuring, visceral and alive with the majesty and mystery of the city, Eureka Street cements Wilson's reputation as one of the best writers around' Time Out
'A novel of ambitious scope and compelling power; it marks a new level of accomplishment in an already formidable writer' TLS
'What is most striking is McLiam Wilson's range: tragedy, comedy, realism, absurdism and refreshing political insight. I am staggered by McLiam Wilson's scope' The Times
'A sane, moving and often very funny satire directed against the establishment of terror. In the face of arbitrary, violent death and genocidal conflict, Wilson celebrates survival... he offers us no solutions, but shows us our best and our worst with a redemptive tenderness and common sense' The Scotsman
