Bøger af Martin Keaveney

Gus Watt has gotten into a bit of a fix. Over the course of 24 hours he is introduced to the woman of his dreams - twice. He is unable to let either down and negotiates the pressures of both relationships, leading to a series of events more tangled than the hawthorn bushes that surround his caravan in the woods. Caravan is Martin Keaveney's 4th book after The Rainy Day, Delia Meade and The Mackon Country.

The Mackon Country is Martin Keaveney's second novel. His debut novel Delia Meade was published in 2020 and followed a short story collection, The Rainy Day in 2018, both published by Penniless Press. Stage and screen credits include Ireland's national broadcaster RTE and Scripts Ireland Playwriting Festival. He has a PhD in Creative Writing and Textual Studies. Scholarship has been published widely, including at the New Hibernia Review, Journal of Franco-Irish Studies and Estudios Irlandeses. He was awarded the Sparanacht Ui Eithir for his research in 2016. He works as a creative writing lecturer/consultant (see more at www.martinkeaveney.com).

Now the last of Delia Meade's many children have married and moved away, she decides to tidy up the little room under the stairs, known as the Glory-hole. Amongst the forgotten toys, worn-out clothes and dusty boxes of photographs, Delia travels through happy and sad decades of her time at 109, Bog Road.

Farmers: young and old, cunning, foolish, greedy, generous, talented and forgotten. These and those belonging to them are gathered in this collection, sometimes clearly in Ireland?s west, but mostly in an unnamed landscape which shapes those often waiting for that rainy day to come. The Rainy Day is Martin Keaveney?s debut collection of short stories. Fiction has previously been published in Ireland, UK and US. Screen and stage credits include RTE and Scripts Ireland Playwriting Festival. He has a B.A. in English and Italian, an M.A. in English (Writing) and is currently completing a PhD. at NUIG (Creative Writing and Textual Studies). He was awarded the Sparanacht Ui Eithir for his research in 2016. He works as a creative writing lecturer/consultant.
