Om denne bog

This collection of eleven stories by one of Ireland’s best writers is a compelling exploration of what comes from moving about the place. 

In these stories, Evelyn Conlon vividly imagines her characters all over the world: Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Italy, Monaco, in a house with two drills of vegetables in Skerries. A couple spend their lives wandering around the equator because of a lie they told during anti-apartheid days; one person holds out in a border-straddling tree; a woman from Hiroshima makes the decision to get pregnant; an Irishwoman attempts to assassinate Mussolini, another fights for women''s suffrage in Australia.

Brilliantly written, witty, and full of the sharp observation for which Conlon is well known, Moving About the Place brings together some of the best of her recent work, along with brand-new stories, including a novella, to show how borders, movement and history change and transform people’s lives.

‘A genuinely exploratory writer … her work is excitingly original.’ The Times

‘Sharp sinuous writing, full of controlled anger and suddenly opened passion.’ The Scotsman
