Mike McCormack captures with tenderness and feeling, in continuous, flowing prose, a whole life, suspended in a single hour.

Once a year, on All Souls’ Day, it is said in Ireland that the dead may return. Solar Bones is the story of one such visit.   Marcus Conway, a middle-aged engineer, turns up one afternoon at his kitchen table and remembers the rhythms and routines of his life, considering with his engineer's mind how things are constructed - bridges, banking systems, marriages - and how they may come apart.  Funny and strange, Mike McCormack’s ambitious and other-worldly novel plays with form and defies convention. This profound new work is by one of Ireland’s most important contemporary novelists. A beautiful and haunting elegy, this story of order and chaos, love and loss capture how minor decisions ripple into waves and test our integrity every day. 

"McCormack’s perceptive gaze, artful elucidations, and confident prose elevate the conceit to a captivating experience ... Solar Bones is a stunning outcry against human isolation and the 'cosmic odds stacked against this here-and-now.' It is a heartfelt hymn to the matchless shelter of love, singular in its stability, relentlessly singing us home."  -  Lara Palmqvist, The Chicago Review Of Books

Mike McCormack’s monosentence Solar Bones failed to win the Booker Prize but it did win the Dublin Literary Prize, the Goldsmiths Prize and was the Irish Books Awards novel of the year. As a novelist, however, early success came to a sudden halt in the early 2000s when he lost his publisher and he ‘disappeared without trace’. Experimental fiction such as his, is, he believes, an Irish trait – ‘Our Mount Rushmore is Joyce, Beckett and Flann O’Brien’ – and when it came back into favour, so did he.
