Colum McCann's first collection of stories, Fishing the Sloe-Black River, won acclaim in Ireland and Britain for his laconic but revealing style and for the freshness of the images he conjures of America and Ireland. In his first novel, bc goes wandering again, this time back to the years before the Spanish Civil War, following the adventures of a peripatetic Irish photographer from the war-strewn shores of Europe to the exotic plains of Mexico, and back to Ireland. The story is told in the words of the photographer's only son, a wanderer himself, who uses his fathers unreliable memories and remnants of his art to piece his journey together and to understand the disappearance of his mother, a Mexican beauty brought back by his father to Ireland.
