Dermot Bolger Boeken

Zeven vrouwen hebben een kamer geboekt in het sjiekste hotel van Dublin. Verhaal geschreven door zeven vrouwelijke Ierse auteurs.

This is Dermot Bolger's latest poetry collection. Every night during a year of the recent Covid 19 lockdown Bolger took long walks through the streets of Dublin. During these walks he allowed his imagination free rein and these resulting poems revisit central events during his life and also reflect upon the lives of others.

The groundbreaking first modern novel to address the scandal of Irish Magdalene laundries when it was first published.

Dermot Bolger's superb new novella explores what changes in the human condition and what remains inalterably enduring.

A spellbinding novel based on a real-life rescue in 1943, when the crew of a neutral Irish ship rescued 168 drowning German sailors. A story of romance and war, where every experience is intense and dangerous.

Written over a seven-year period, from 1914 to 1921, this book has survived bowdlerization, legal action and controversy. The novel deals with the events of one day in Dublin, 16th June 1904, now known as "Bloomsday". The principal characters are Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly. Ulysses has been labelled dirty, blasphemous and unreadable. In a famous 1933 court decision, Judge John M. Woolsey declared it an emetic book--although he found it not quite obscene enough to disallow its importation into the United States--and Virginia Woolf was moved to decry James Joyce's "cloacal obsession". None of these descriptions, however, do the slightest justice to the novel. To this day it remains the modernist masterpiece, in which the author takes both Celtic lyricism and vulgarity to splendid extremes. It is funny, sorrowful, and even (in its own way) suspenseful. And despite the exegetical industry that has sprung up in the last 75 years, Ulysses is also a compulsively readable book.

A stunning historical saga set in the early decades of the twentieth century which follows the lives and loves of one extraordinary family.

Written by a master story-teller, Tanglewood grows into an incisive dissection of Ireland in 2007, when - although these characters are unaware of it - the Celtic Tiger edifice is quietly imploding.

Seven of Irelands most accomplished female writers have crafted between them this delightfully entertaining novel. Featuring authors Maeve Binchy and Deirdre Purcell.
