Dermot Healy - Long Time, No See

Dermot Healy's new novel, Long Time, No See received rapturous acclaim. It's set in the isolated coastal town of Ballintra in Northwest Ireland, and centers around a cast of innocents and wounded, broken misfits. The story is told by Phillip Feeney, also known as "Mister Psyche," a young man on the brink of adulthood who has been a bit undone by a recent traumatic event. Having just finished secondary school and awaiting his exam results, he is back in his home town, living with his mother and father, doing odd jobs.
