SUMMARY:Reading by Kevin Barry from Beatlebone
DESCRIPTION:Author Kevin Barry will read from his novel Beatlebone on Friday\, April 28 at 4:30 p.m. at the Lewis Center for the Arts’ James M. Stewart ’32 Theater\, 185 Nassau Street. The reading\, which is free and open to the public\, concludes the 2016-2017 Fund for Irish Studies series at Princeton University. \nKevin Barry’s second novel\, Beatlebone\, follows a fictional John Lennon as he travels in 1978 to Dorninish\, his small private island located off the west coast of Ireland. Legendary Beatles musician John Lennon actually purchased this uninhabited property\, known as “Beatle Island” or “Hippie Island\,” and owned it until his death in 1980. Yoko Ono\, Lennon’s wife\, eventually sold the property in 1984. \nBeatlebone consists of Lennon’s conversations and adventures with his driver\, Cornelius O’Grady\, as the pair avoids pitfalls with the weather and the media to deliver Lennon to Dorninish. The Guardian calls the novel “a lyrical exploration of love\, fate and death.” Regarding Barry’s writing\, The New York Times praises his “razor-sharp prose\, powerful poetics and a dramatist’s approach to dialogue unencumbered by punctuation.”Kevin Barry’s second novel\, Beatlebone\, follows a fictional John Lennon as he travels in 1978 to Dorninish\, his small private island located off the west coast of Ireland.
