Bloomsbury presents Everything in this Country Must written and read by Colum McCann.

‘McCann returns to Ireland with this collection, turning his measured gaze and incisive prose to the country’s recent history with devastating effect’ Maggie O’Farrell

'McCann once again shows why he is one of the best writers in the world … Deeply moving and powerfully written, these are likely to become classics' Big Issue
___________________
One powerful novella, with two thematically linked short stories on either side of it, forms the basis of Everything in This Country Must. Although these are stories about Ireland and the Troubles, they have an almost mythical rather than a political feel.

In the title story, four young soldiers help a farmer and his daughter free their horse from a stream in flood, unable to understand that their help will never be anything but an insult.

In the novella, Hunger Strike, a young boy and his mother flee to Galway as the boy's uncle succumbs to a hunger strike in a Derry gaol.

In Wood, a ten-year-old boy is asked by his mother to make poles for the marching season.

The political turmoil of Northern Ireland finds here an answering, subtly respondent voice – wonderfully skilled and deeply felt' Seamus Deane©2000 Colum McCann (P)2021 Penguin Random House USA Audio

批評家のレビュー

These are powerful stories – gritty, memorable and ambitious. The novella goes straight to the heart, both in terms of its theme and its emotional punch (Edna O’Brien)
Excellent – this is a powerful and moving collection
Orwell would have been proud to journey with a writer as good as Colum McCann
McCann once again shows why he is one of the best writers in the world … Deeply moving and powerfully written, these are likely to become classics
Captures that peculiar nexus of hormones, deprivation and political imperative on a Northern Irish child coming of age
Colum McCann’s stories are brooding, meditative and lyrically controlled to that delicate point where the emotion within them intensifies with each succeeding reading and recognition. The political turmoil of Northern Ireland finds here an answering, subtly respondent voice - wonderfully skilled and deeply felt (Seamus Deane)
Full of wild melancholy (Christopher Hope)
