'Memorable, unsettling and humane'
GUARDIAN
'One of the best books I have ever read ... I can't recommend him or it enough'
JOHNNY MARR
IRISH TIMES Driving with a donkey stuffed in the back seat; jackdaws pecking brains out through the roof of a confessional box; cat piss and astronauts. This is not the world as you see it, but as it is, twisted from the maverick mind of Blindboy Boatclub. These are stories of the strange unsettlings in the souls of men caught in between the past and the possible; stories of heart-blinding rage and disquieting compassion. Blindboy Boatclub is the essential voice for the Irish condition in the twenty-first century, and in Topographia Hibernica he unravels the knotted threads of humanity, nature and colonisation from a contemporary perspective. * Topographia Hibernica was a bestseller in Ireland in November 2023 *

Critical Reviews
Powered by immense, perverse energy out of the Limerick idiom, the collection generates a singular music that is memorable, unsettling and humane. Moments of beauty dazzle amid the profanity, as pathos and comedy are braided together--Guardian
Eerie, dark and twisted . . . Blindboy's passion for Irish nature, mythology and folklore lends a spiritual profundity--Buzz
One of the most gifted writers of his generation--Michael Harding - Irish Times
A bestseller in the bag--Irish Independent
A cultural phenomenon...
Earnest and intellectual, but also funny and down-to-earth.... Talking to him can feel like skittering around a galaxy of Wikipedia wormholes (in a good way)--New York Times One of the best books I have ever read--Johnny Marr
