Hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as "the finest book to come out
of Europe this year," The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty is acclaimed
Irish playwright Sebastian Barry's lyrical tale of a fugitive
everyman. Sebastian Barry's latest novel, Days Without End, is now
available. For Eneas McNulty, a happy, innocent childhood in County
Sligo in the early 1900s gives way to an Ireland wracked by violence
and conflict. Unable to find work in the depressed times after World
War I, Eneas joins the British-led police force, the Royal Irish
Constabulary—a decision that alters the course of his life. Branded
a traitor by Irish nationalists and pursued by IRA hitmen, Eneas is
forced to flee his homeland, his family, and Viv, the woman he loves.
His wandering terminates on the Isle of Dogs, a haven for sailors,
where a lifetime of loss is redeemed by a final act of generosity. The
Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty is the story of a lost man and a
compelling saga that illuminates Ireland's complex history.
