MacLaverty, Bernard Cal
Vintage 1998 0-09-976711-2 / 9780099767114 Paperback Very Good
From the Publisher A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: For Cal, some of the choices are devastatingly simple... He can work in an abattoir that nauseates him or join the dole queue; he can brood on his pas t or plan a future with Marcella. Springing out of the fear and violence of Ulster, Cal is a haunting love stroy in a land were tenderness and innocen ce can only flicker briefly in the dark. History Editor First published in 1983, this lyrical novel, superficially straightforward but full of stories within stories, first brought Bernard MacLaverty's work to public attention. In the novel, a young Irish Republican Army operative who wants to break the cycle of violence seeks out a woman whose Ulster po liceman husband he helped to murder. As their relationship grows, so do Cal 's guilt and sorrow, until, in the end, he is forced to make a sacrifice of himself in order to gain redemption. Rich in ideas and history, this book helps us understand the situation in Northern Ireland--which "is not just t here," MacLaverty has remarked, "as a colorful background." Robert Wilson Powerful...Cal is a love story as affecting and tragic as you could want... as finely crafted as a short story.-- USA Today Michael Gorra A most moving novel whose emotional impact is grounded in a complete avoidance of sentimentality...-- The New York Times

MacLaverty, Bernard Grace Notes: A Novel
W. W. Norton & Company November 17, 19 0-393-31841-9 / 9780393318418 Paperback Very Good
A clean softcover, no markings throughout: Composer Catherine McKenna has more of a gift for music than happiness, but she has long been driven beyond harmonies (musical and personal) that her Belfast family can understand. Bernard MacLaverty renders both sides of the equation: Catherine's feminist and aesthetic striving and her mother's mor e traditional grasp; it's hard not to sympathize with Mrs. McKenna's impati ent rejoinder, "You don't cope with music, you listen to it." Grace Notes, MacLaverty's first novel since Cal, is as much about Irish identity--and possibility--as it is about art. Catherine's newest piece, a mass, includes the huge drums Protestants play in parades. "It was a scary sound--like thunder. Like the town was under a canopy of dark noise." Though her fellow Catholics see the drums as instruments of threat, Catherine is determined to integrate them into her composition.

MacLaverty, Bernard The Anatomy School
W. W. Norton & Company July 2003 0-393-32457-5 / 9780393324570 Paperback Very Good
Poor Martin Brennan has to contend with a variety of indignities: an overbe aring mother who dreams of her son entering the priesthood, the pressures o f passing his school exams (after an unsuccessful first attempt), and the o rdinary turbulence of late adolescence. Shy and unsure of himself, Martin c arefully navigates his world with the help (and sometimes hindrance) of his best friends: Kavanaugh, a smooth-talking charmer; and the rebellious Blai se Foley, who challenges Martin's precepts of authority and faith. Martin, a photographer for his school newspaper, studiously observes and absorbs hi s surroundings, from the impoverished lifestyle he and his mother must endu re to the twittering ladies and pompous priest who frequent the Brennans' d inner table. As Martin struggles with his relationships, classes, and first foray into romance, he moves slowly into manhood, readjusting his worldvie w. MacLaverty, whose work has previously been short-listed for the Booker P rize, writes with an easy charm and perfectly captures life in 1960s Belfas t. He invests the smallest characters with great wit and humanity, creating a moving, rueful tale.
