Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. From the highly acclaimed author of Bad Day in Blackrock inspiration for the 2012 award-winning film What Richard Did, directed by Lenny Abrahamson.Shortlisted for the 2021 An Post Irish Book Awards Eason Novel of the Year.A darkly funny, gripping and profoundly moving novel about a life spinning out of control, a life live without the bedrock of familial love, and the corruption of material wealth that tears at the soul.It was my fathers arrest that brought me here, although you could certainly say that I took the scenic route. Here is rehab, where Ben the only son of a rich South Dublin banker is piecing together the shattered remains of his life. Abruptly cut off, at the age of 27, from a life of heedless privilege, Ben flounders through a world of drugs and dead-end jobs, his self-esteem at rock bottom. Even his once-adoring girlfriend, Clio, is at the end of her tether. Then Ben runs into an old school friend who wants to cut him in on a scam: a shady property deal in the Balkans. The deal will make Ben rich and, at one fell swoop, will deliver him from all his troubles: his addictions, his fathers very public disgrace, and his own self-loathing and regret. Problems solved. But something is amiss. For one thing, the Serbian partners dont exactly look like fools. (In fact they look like gangsters.) And, for another, Ben is being followed everywhere he goes. Someone is being taken for a ride. But who?Praise for White City:'I can't recommend it enough. It's often hilariously funny but it's also a sharp and smart dissection of contemporary materialism' John Boyne, author of The Heart's Invisible Furies 'An immensely enjoyable and tautly written account of a young man from an affluent family whose life of privilege is turned upside down' Sunday Times 'Spiky, blackly funny novel that offers an incisive study on class, entitlement and masculinity' Independent 'Capacious and comic, luxuriantly written, with an intricate plot and heightened characterisation both riotous rant and thoughtful coming-of-age tale' Dublin Review of Books 'Outstanding second novel. A brilliantly entertaining novel that is profound in the most unexpected ways. Power is that rarity, a genuinely funny novelist. Yet all the more remarkable is Power's handling of tone: this novel moves effortlessly between humour and sincerity; it is steeped in empathy and raw anger' Literary Review White City is likely to be the most solid, well-rounded novel to come out of Ireland this year At once a pacy page-turner with a nerve-frazzling plot and a realistic and haunting tale of our interconnected world White City is an all-round superb book that will stay with you long after the inevitable binge read Irish Independent 'White City synthesises familiar forms into a whole: the rogues confession, the young man finding his way, the post-Celtic Tiger satire on puffed-up, self-perpetuating bullshit businesses Power shows his own capacity for comic timing and pithy apercus' Guardian ' An extremely funny book Kevin Power shows his chops as a proper heavyweight novelist. Unequivocally one of the most purely enjoyable books, in the classic-novel sense a zinger on every page' Peter Murphy, Arena (RTE Radio 1) '[A] sprawling social satire of the sort we seldom see in Irish fiction a tremendously zesty and zeitgeisty piece of writing' Sunday Times (Ireland) [T]his dark caper evolves to ask sea Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
