[quote=Anonymous]Just finished “Glorious Exploits” by Ferdia Lennon. It was published just a few weeks ago by an Irish novelist, and this seems to be his debut novel. Borrowing from another reviewer’s description…imagine an Irish buddy dark comedy, kind of like “Banshees of Inisherin,” but set in ~400 BC (after the Peloponnesian War— which you don’t need to know anything about). Throw in some Greek tragedy and meditations on war/the human condition/victors and treatment of the conquered (and how easily you can move from one of those categories to the other)…and you get this novel. It was written in contemporary, slightly profane and hilarious prose. It was both genuinely funny and sad. A really beautiful mix of tragedy and comedy. Wow, I loved it. I hope to see more buzz about it and wanted to recommend it here to anyone who may be interested![/quote]
