A review by stephibabes
Solar Bones by Mike McCormack
5.0
This book is expansive, cosmic and ethereal, and also deeply mundane, intricate and banal. McCormack is a skilled and gifted writer and there are passages that feel like poetry.
Our narrator comes to and gives us a tour de force of stream of consciousness and reflecting on the past. It is huge in its scope, whilst also being so utterly small and personal. It conjures all sorts of feelings, from claustrophobia to vastness.
I was beguiled by this book. The audiobook was fantastic, but I reckon the written would also be great to read. I think I might have to check out more McCormack in the future. Another fantastic Irish writer to add to those I have enjoyed recently.
