Borderlines

Borderlines —3 long, hilarious and heart wrenching stories, written in cinematic prose. We see the real Ireland and the Irish: funny, zany, complicated, love-crazy and always entertaining.
Carnival Cop gets officious when a raggle-taggle roadshow comes to a remote town. Bonzo is a local mystery man who everyone loves, but few know much about. One for the Rover is a tale of free spirits: Irish music in the slow lane, gurus from the East and lovers from the West.

Novelist Willy Vlautin says: “Eddie Stack has a way of making you laugh and cry at the same time...a great Irish storyteller.”

Eddie Stack is the author of 4 collections of short stories, a novel and 6 novellas. His fiction has received several awards and starred reviews.

"Variously fantastic, comic, elegiac and nostaligic, Mr. Stack's fiction is versatile and engaging...a vivid, compassionate, authentic voice...securing (him) a place in the celebrated tradition of his country's storytelling." New York Times Book Review

"The fantastical and the everyday combine with wit, sharpness and brio....Never sentimental, often funny, always accurate, this is pithy, finely-tuned writing of a high order." The Observer (UK)

"Exceptionally fine tuned...an authentic voice of the migrant Irish." San Francisco Chronicle
