Pool of Darkness: Raymond Chandler in Ireland - Paperback

by Tom Sigafoos (Author)

"By writing about Raymond Chandler, Tom Sigafoos has been able to get uncannily close to him, to begin to understand this person more fully, and to introduce him to the world in a way that he hasn't been presented before...

"It's a book where playfulness, setting, and intriguing conversation are doled out in even measure. The prose is lush, the humour tickles..."They say that word of mouth is the most effective way to get a book read and loved: readers urging other readers to invest time in a book, because they feel that that book is worth it..."I hope that this novel gets all the notice it deserves. It's an informed, witty, elegantly written book, with a lively energy in its pages. It's a celebration of all that's good and exciting about bio-fiction, about the act of illuminating real people and lived lives; it's an honouring of Chandler as person, as husband, and as writer..."Comhghairdeas ó chroí, congratulations, Tom - may your ink never run dry."- Nuala O'Connor, author of Nora and Seaborne, launching Pool of Darkness at the 2024 Allingham Festival
