Paperback. Condition: New. Initially published in 1984, Dermot Healy's stunning first novel, Fighting with Shadows, returns to print after almost thirty years. Largely set in the border village of Fanacross, Co. Fermanagh, as Ireland stumbles clumsily toward modernity, the Allen family negotiate a bitter and troubled terrain. Fighting with Shadows offers extraordinary and poetic glimpses of the compelling lives of ordinary people. The novel's landscape is of borderlands, of in-between spaces; it tells of violently sundered geographical borders, of maddening religious differences, of the anguished gaps between people as they struggle to find each other, and of how the dead reside among its inhabitants long after they've passed. At once realist account and nightmarish magic realist fable, Fighting with Shadows occupies a truly important position in the history of modern Irish fiction.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Fighting with Shadows tells of violently sundered geographical borders, of maddening religious differences, of the anguished gaps between people as they struggle to find each other, and of how the dead reside among its inhabitants long after they've passed. The imagination's encounter with reality registers Dermot Healey's relentless fascination with the way things are seen and with the things themselves, or the "erotica of little things." A realist account and nightmarish fable, Fighting with Shadows is critical to the history of modern Irish fiction. "Originally co-published in 1984 by Allison & Busby and Brandon Books; a second edition was published in 1986 by Allison & Busby" -- Verso title page.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Although Dermot Healy (1947-2014) is probably best known as an award-winning novelist and poet, he was also a prolific playwright, screenwriter, and actor. Healys interest in drama was long-standing, and was central to his development as a writer. Between 1985 and 2010 he wrote thirteen stage plays, including a critically-acclaimed adaptation of Garcia Lorcas Blood Wedding in 1989. All of these plays are published here for the first time.One of the most striking features of Healys dramatic works is their spirit of community collaboration and their strong social conscience. His first play, Here and There and Going to America (1985), was performed by members of the Sligo Dole Q Company; Metagama (2004) was written for Theatre Hebrides on the Isle of Lewis; Serious (2005) was written in collaboration with (and performed by) prisoners from Castlerea Prison; A Night at the Disco (2006) was written in collaboration with the teachers and students of St Marys Secondary School in Ballina. These community-based productions were interspersed with more professional commissions, including Mr Staines, performed by Pan Pan Theatre Company at the Samuel Beckett Theatre in Dublin in 1999, and Men to the Right, Women to the Left, first performed at The Abbey Theatre in 2005 by the Clones Drama Group.Although the settings of Healys plays are often local and regional by design, their reach is always international and universal. With the publication of this volume, Healys contribution to drama seems certain to flourish amongst practitioners and scholars alike, and The Collected Plays will be of great interest to all devotees of contemporary Irish theatre.
