Reviews
Stylish, funny, black and memorable * Irish Times *
Shocking and reassuring, visceral and alive with the majesty and mystery of the city, Eureka Street cements Wilson's reputation as one of the best writers around * Time Out *
A novel of ambitious scope and compelling power; it marks a new level of accomplishment in an already formidable writer * Times Literary Supplement *
What is most striking is McLiam Wilson's range: tragedy, comedy, realism, absurdism and refreshing political insight. I am staggered by McLiam Wilson's scope * The Times *
A sane, moving and often very funny satire directed against the establishment of terror. In the face of arbitrary, violent death and genocidal conflict, Wilson celebrates humanity...he offers us no solutions, but shows us our best and our worst with a redemptive tenderness and common sense * Scotsman *
