"She spoke hardly at all of home or family. Her name was really Katarzyna, she said, but since childhood she had preferred the English version—Poland was crawling with Katarzynas. The small extent of her belongings was sorrowful. They didn’t take up a quarter of the space in the back of his van. He thought the heart was going to explode in his chest as he watched her shyly fold away her underwear in the drawer he had cleared for her. He came in close behind and kissed her neck.

Beautiful. Elegiac. Barry’s noisy squawking Irishmen recounting their drug heists and lovers in a quiet smelly Spanish seaport.

Meaning in every greasy raindrop in the gutter.

This is without doubt the most original prose I’ve read in years.

Barry's inventive structure propels the reader through a kaleidoscopic narrative that jumps between time and place freely. Barry paints engrossing scenes that engage the reader through each of these vignettes that peel back a layer of backstory from the two main characters.

While Barry's throwing of caution to the wind when it comes to form is laudable, there's a dissatisfaction that remains once you reach the end. The emptiness isn't from a want for a resolution to the story, which there isn't. Instead you're left with a desire to have continued jumping through the messy timelines and the varied places between Spain, Morocco and Algeria.

3.5/5

Lovely prose. Toss in a plot and you got yourself a book.
