BEATLEBONE By Kevin Barry Read by Kevin Barry 'The fact at the core of Kevin Barry?s second novel, ?Beatlebone,? is that, in 1967, John Lennon purchased an uninhabited island off the west coast of Ireland which, although he set foot there on less than a handful of occasions, he owned until the day he died. The premise is that in 1978, two years before his murder in New York City, he traveled there alone on a walkabout of sorts...Books like this come along once in a generation, books by writers with real chops, who haven?t yet been discouraged from taking real chances and blurring the lines between disciplines. Barry employs every tool in his formidable toolbox - razor-sharp prose, powerful poetics and a dramatist?s approach to dialogue unencumbered by punctuation. The continuing conversation between John and Cornelius is the narrative engine of the tale of the Irish odyssey in 1978, but other voices are employed, each with a specific function: self-conscious prose when John?s alone and without the cover of Cornelius?s glib counterpoint; flowing, haunting free verse when he succumbs to haunting memories of his youth in Liverpool and his ghostly imaginings of the courtship of his mother and father...' - CD audio book. - New, unopened and still in the original shrinkwrap. - 6 discs - 6 hours, 47 minutes. - Various pictures uploaded, all taken from the actual item, what you see is what you get...check them over carefully, they are part of the description, too... - The case, as far as I can tell, appears to be unblemished and in good working order. - Check all the details listed below carefully, make sure this is the one you want.
