Heaven Lies About Us

In these twelve stories, Eugene McCabe plumbs the soul of the Irishborder counties, where confusion, divided loyalties, and conflict arepart of everyday life. A master of arresting dialogue and intimate characterisation, celebrated as a major playwright and author of one of the most important Irish novels of the last fifty years, McCabe demonstrates his outstanding gift for short fiction in this revelatory and haunting collection.
'there is the sublime sweep of McCabe's craggy cadences to sustain you, and he takes an ingenious delight in the mechanics of language'.
Alfred Hickling, Guardian
