ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR THE ATLANTIC THE MILLIONS MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH LIT HUB LIBRARY JOURNAL THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY In the dark waiting room of the ferry terminal in the sketchy Spanish port of Algeciras, two aging IrishmenMaurice Hearne and Charlie Redmond, longtime partners in the lucrative and dangerous enterprise of smuggling drugssit at night, none too patiently. The pair are trying to locate Maurice's estranged daughter, Dilly, whom they've heard is either arriving on a boat coming from Tangier or departing on one heading there. This nocturnal vigil will initiate an extraordinary journey back in time to excavate their shared history of violence, romance, mutual betrayals, and serial exiles. Rendered with the dark humor and the hardboiled Hibernian lyricism that have made Kevin Barry one of the most striking and admired fiction writers at work today, Night Boat to Tangier is a superbly melancholic melody of a novel, full of beautiful phrases and terrible men.
