內容簡介

2016科斯達文學年度大獎得主
《失落的祕密手稿》作者

  2016 COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR

  'A beautiful, savage, tender, searing work of art. Sentence after perfect sentence it grips and does not let go.' -Donal Ryan

  'A violent, superbly lyrical western offering a sweeping vision of America in the making [and] the most fascinating line-by-line first person narration I’ve come across in years.' -Kazuo Ishiguro

  'I am thinking of the days without end of my life...'

  After signing up for the US army in the 1850s, aged barely seventeen, Thomas McNulty and his brother-in-arms, John Cole, go on to fight in the Indian wars and, ultimately, the Civil War.

  Having fled terrible hardships they find these days to be vivid and filled with wonder, despite the horrors they both see and are complicit in. Their lives are further enriched and imperilled when a young Indian girl crosses their path, and the possibility of lasting happiness emerges, if only they can survive.

  Moving from the plains of the West to Tennessee, Sebastian Barry's latest work is a masterpiece of atmosphere and language. Both an intensely poignant story of two men and the lives they are dealt, and a fresh look at some of the most fateful years in America's past, Days Without End is a novel never to be forgotten.

  Praise for Days Without End

  'Days Without End is a work of staggering openness; its startlingly beautiful sentences are so capacious that they are hard to leave behind, its narrative so propulsive that you must move on. In its pages, Barry conjures a world in miniature, inward, quiet, sacred; and a world of spaces and borders so distant they can barely be imagined. Taken as a whole, his McNulty adventure is experimental, self-renewing, breathtakingly exciting.’ Alex Clark, Guardian

  'Remarkable . . . Life-affirming in the truest and best ways.' Stephanie Cross, Daily Mail

  'Epic, lyrical and constantly surprising . . . a rich and satisfying novel.' Jeff Robson, Independent

  'Sebastian Barry is the most humane of writers. The leeway is always generous; beauty is mined to its last redemptive glint. Like McNulty, the voice is humorous, compassionate, true. It is his glory as a writer. It is the stern, glorious music of a great novel.' Eoin McNamee, Irish Times
