![]() Drinking song and punk libretto, ancient as myth and wholly original, Poguemahone is the devastating telling of one family’s history-and the forces, seen and unseen, that make their fate. Now she sits outside in the sun as her memories unspool from Dan’s mouth and his own role in the tale grows ever stranger-and more sinister.Ī swirling, psychedelic, bleakly funny fugue, Patrick McCabe’s epic reinvention of the verse novel combines Modernist fragmentation and Beat spontaneity with Irish folklore, then douses it in whiskey and sets it on fire. How the parents are exiled from a small Irish village and end up. Young Una’s search for love in a seemingly haunted hippie squat, and the two-timing Scottish stoner poet she’ll never get over.

Una Fogarty, suffering from dementia in a seaside nursing home, would be all alone without her brother Dan, whose epic free-verse monologue tells their family story. ![]() A searing family drama and bittersweet evocation of nostalgia for lost youth. ![]() A swirling, psychedelic, bleakly funny fugue by the Booker-shortlisted author of The Butcher Boy and Breakfast on Pluto Dan Fogarty, an Irishman living in England, is looking after his sister Una, now seventy and suffering from dementia in a care home in Margate. by Patrick McCabe RELEASE DATE: May 3, 2022. ![]()
