Oisin Fagan is the author of Hostages, a collection of stories, and Nobber, his debut novel which was longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize, shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Woodhouse Prize, and was named a Book of the Year by the Guardian and the Daily Mail.
Wild, dark and free-wheeling, this epic of colonialism and revolution cements Fagan as one of the most strikingly original Irish writers working today -- Ferdia Lennon, author of the Sunday Times bestselling GLORIOUS EXPLOITS Visceral, propulsive, kinetic . . . a glorious firework display of ambition, imagination and ideas. This is an unforgettable odyssey from one of the most daring writers at work today -- Colin Walsh, author of the bestselling debut KALA Unexpectedly hilarious and very beautiful . . . Eden's Shore often felt like a sort of maritime Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy's portentous masterpiece of the American west - and it will no doubt divide readers along similar lines. But I'd be hard pressed to think of higher praise * Guardian * Exuberant, often darkly funny prose propels readers through a historical novel like few others * Sunday Times * While savagery abounds, moments of wonder act as reprieve in this ambitious text * Irish Times * Rich and beautifully told * TLS * A tale of greed, revenge and love from one of Ireland's best young writers * Gentleman’s Journal * His writing is colourful but pacey, and Eden's Shore flies along at a fierce clip, leaving a lasting impression and a sense of excitement at where Fagan will turn his sights next * Buzz Magazine *
