From Ross Raisin , the highly acclaimed author of Out Backward --a debut novel Colm Tóibín called "compelling, disturbing and often very funny"--comes the moving and story of an ex-shipyard worker\'s journey of grief and reclamation in the wake of his wife\'s death. " Ross Raisin confirms himself as an exciting talent, a unique, gifted, and generous voice, a young writer with a vision broad far beyond his years." --David Vann, Financial Times.
Lyrical and resonant, with echoes of Paul Harding\'s Tinkers and Anne Enright\'s The Gathering , Raisin\'s blue collar story of a man\'s fractured search for a new beginning is a powerfully voiced, penetratingly personal narrative of alienation and, ultimately, redemption.
