Award winning author

Longlisted The Man Booker Prize 2019

The new novel from the winner of the IMPAC Award and the Goldsmiths Prize.

It's late one night at the Spanish port of Algeciras and two fading Irish gangsters are waiting on the boat from Tangier. A lover has been lost, a daughter has gone missing, their world has come asunder – can it be put together again? Night Boat to Tangier is a novel drenched in sex and death and narcotics, in sudden violence and old magic. But above all, it is a book obsessed with the mysteries of love. A tragicomic masterwork from the award-winning Kevin Barry, Night Boat to Tangier is a work of melancholy beauty, wit and lyrical brilliance.

'Barry is riding the waves with Night Boat to Tangier ... Reminiscent of Waiting for Godot'
The Times

'Lyrical, elegiac, taut and strange.'
Ian Rankin, bestselling author of Knots and Crosses

'A bloody mighty novel. It's audacious, but also it's Kevin Barry at his most tender. The novel carries a beautiful, mournful undertow to it, which is particularly affecting in a book so heavy with old myth and new poetry. May he keep twisting literature forever.'
Lisa McInerney, author of The Blood Miracles
