Resumen del Editor
The riotous, raucous, and deeply resonant debut novel from “one of the best story writers in the English language today” (Financial Times), Wild Houses follows two outsiders caught in the crosshairs of a small-town revenge kidnapping gone awry.
With his acclaimed and award-winning collections Young Skins and Homesickness Colin Barrett cemented his reputation as one of contemporary Irish literature’s most daring stylists. Praised by the Oprah Daily as “a doyen of the sentence”, and by the Los Angeles Times as a writer of “unique genius”, Barrett now expands his canvas with a debut novel that contains as much grit, plot, and linguistic energy as any of his celebrated short stories.
As Ballina prepares for its biggest weekend of the year, introspective loner Dev answers his door on Friday night to find Doll English—younger brother of small-time local dealer Cillian English—bruised and in the clutches of Gabe and Sketch Ferdia, County Mayo’s fraternal enforcers and Dev’s cousins. Dev’s quiet homelife is upturned as he is quickly and unwillingly drawn headlong into the Ferdias' frenetic revenge plot against Cillian. Meanwhile, Doll’s girlfriend, 17-year-old Nicky, reeling from a fractious Friday and plagued by ghosts and tragedy of her own, sets out on a feverish mission to save Doll, even as she questions her future in Ballina.
Set against Barrett’s trademark depictions of small town Irish life, Wild Houses is the thrillingly told story of two outsiders striving to find themselves as their worlds collapse in chaos and violence.

Historia
On the island of Sicily amid the Peloponnesian War, the Syracusans have figured out what to do with the surviving Athenians who had the gall to invade their city: they’ve herded the sorry prisoners of war into a rock quarry and left them to rot. Looking for a way to pass the time, Lampo and Gelon, two unemployed potters with a soft spot for poetry and drink, head down into the quarry to feed the Athenians if, and only if, they can manage a few choice lines from their great playwright Euripides. Before long, the two mates hatch a plan to direct a full-blown production of Medea.

On September 27, 2018, Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee which was considering the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. She described an alleged sexual assault by the Supreme Court nominee that took place at a high school party in the 1980s.

In One Way Back, Ford recounts the months she spent trying to get information into the right hands without exposing herself and her family to backlash.

And she didn’t like the way that “nothing” felt.

Sue’s place was an intimate staging ground where a new breed of singer-songwriters—wounded souls, wayward upstarts—would spur each other on to tap into something bigger, realer.

Looking for a way to pass the time, Lampo and Gelon, two unemployed potters with a soft spot for poetry and drink, head down into the quarry to feed the Athenians if, and only if, they can manage a few choice lines from their great playwright Euripides. Before long, the two mates hatch a plan to direct a full-blown production of Medea.

Insider look at a small crime
I found this book intriguing, scary, and sometimes a bit funny.
I loved that the author used a small bit of crime to look at the interactions between individuals, the formation and maintenance of relationships, and their internal struggles. Although at first, some of the dialogue can seem mundane, it is what was important to these characters at the time. Many times common dialogue is used to convey messages with greater weight.
In the first hour of reading, I found the heavy accent of the reader a bit thick. But, it was no problem as I became used to it. And it is thick; as thick and meaningful as the rain, threats, anger, shame, smells, and confusion.
(SMALL PLOT REVEAL) The story doesn't end with some giant twist. I actually enjoyed that. I had guessed that one character might do this, or another character might do that...but they didn't. No one became a superhero or a super-villain. They just stayed in character. That was a twist that I couldn't have anticipated.
So, yes, I very much recommend this book. It lets you into the lives of a small group who are more or less the same as everyone else. It was interesting to me to discover which (more OR less). The people are real...so, my conclusion was more.

Complex characters
In-depth probes of the many, diverse characters added psychological interest, and the story line was suspenseful, if dark. Great dialogue throughout! But as a whole the narrative voice lacked cohesion and descriptions were overwritten in places, diminishing the impact.
