Mike McCormack, author of Solar Bones (2016 Goldsmiths Prize, Bord Gais 2016 Irish Book of the Year), joins us to read from his funny, strange, and other-worldly novel, recently longlisted for the Man Booker prize.

About Solar Bones
Once a year, on All Souls’ Day, it is said that the dead may return. Solar Bones is the story of one such visit. Marcus Conway, a county engineer, comes back to the family house and considers the events that took him away—and that have brought him home again. Funny and strange, McCormack’s ambitious and other-worldly novel plays with form and defies convention. A beautiful and haunting elegy, this story of order and chaos, love and loss captures how minor decisions ripple into waves and test our integrity in small ways every day.
