Number of pages: 368 pages

Publisher: Publications Company for Distribution and Publishing

A novel whose places are made up, but its events are realistic, it combines the influences of the cinematic film and the illustrated story, proceeds to the rhythm of Calypso, and the occurrence of Troy, to touch the Celtic myth, with an epic climate that reflects the greatness of Irish literature in a fictional work, which is at the same time as real as the world of “Macondo” by Gabriel Garcia Marquis and "Yoknapatova" by William Faulkner. Scottish writer Irvine Welch said it was "the greatest novel since James Joyce's 'Ulysses'."
