Klappentext„In the dark times will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing. About the dark times “ Bertolt Brecht
#paullynch #prophetsong #bookstodon
…Exhilarating, terrifying and propulsive, a devastating vision of a country falling apart, and a moving portrait of the resilience of the human spirit faced with the darkest of times.

Jan van den BergMet onze boekenclub lazen we Prophet Song van Paul Lynch. En daar kan ik kort over zijn: aanrader.
Voor een boek dat zo succesvol is, zou je verwachten dat je deze overal kan kopen. Dat viel tegen.

Wat je moet weten over Prophet Song van Paul Lynch
Met onze boekenclub lazen we Prophet Song van Paul Lynch. En daar kan ik kort over zijn: aanrader. Erg goed geschreven, een ongemakkelijk herkenbare setting en uiterst deprimerend, maar op een goede manier, als dat kan? Het won The Booker Prize en ik snap waarom. Voor een boek dat zo succesvol is, zou je verwachten […]
Cian Ó hAnnracháin - Cian HanStarted and finished #ProphetSong on a couple of flights on Sunday. I haven't reacted so strongly to a book like that in quite a while. I had to stop reading a few times, it's tough in places.
But as a warning of how it could happen, how Ireland could slip, and the rise of the far right, it was quite chilling, told amongst the mundanity of kids' lunches and baked goods.I still don't know if I liked it. I don't think liking is the right word. But I can't stop thinking about it either.
Daniel Thomas"Prophet Song" by Paul Lynch is a powerful and harrowing tale that feels like is etched on the inside of my skill. It tells of the aftermath of the election of a fascist government in a fictional Republic of Ireland. You won't be able to put it down. I wouldn't necessarily recommend reading it though (it won't leave you unchanged), unless you live in the USA, in which case: better to know. #Books #USA #ProphetSong

Joël MétreauSa traduction arrivera trop tard en France, pas avant le 7 juillet, pas avant 2025 Le roman Prophet Song de Paul Lynch se déroule dans une Irlande contemporaine. Le nouveau pouvoir politique a mis en place des lois d'urgence, bientôt une police politique, les contrôles, le harcèlement d'opposants ou leur disparition, des manifestations réprimées avec violence, puis les licenciements en faveur de personnes favorables au régime, la coupure d'accès à Internet, la chasse aux "terroristes", la guerre civile, l'errance et le désespoir des réfugiés... Glaçant et implacable #PaulLynch #ProphetSong #dystopia #bookstodon #vendredilecture #books #mastolivre #livre
Jamesie Mc JamesfaceMy Review of #ProphetSong by Paul Lynch.
"In the context of a fascist state, the novel explores themes such as #parenthood, professionalism, ageing, bureaucracy, and marriage. But of all of Prophet Song’s themes, a defining one is power—specifically, the power a capitalist state can have over working-class people"

Lynch's suffocating prose captures the experience of civilians who wait too long, denying a democracy's fall.
