'Paul Lynch is peerless' Donal Ryan, author of Strange Flowers An Irish Times 'Book to Look Forward to in 2023' A fearless portrait of a society on the brink as a mother faces a terrible choice, from an internationally award-winning author On a dark, wet evening in Dublin, scientist and mother-of-four Eilish Stack answers her front door to find the GNSB on her step. Two officers from Irelands newly formed secret police are here to interrogate her husband, a trade unionist. Ireland is falling apart. The country is in the grip of a government turning towards tyranny and Eilish can only watch helplessly as the world she knew disappears. When first her husband and then her eldest son vanish, Eilish finds herself caught within the nightmare logic of a collapsing society. How far will she go to save her family? And what or who is she willing to leave behind? Exhilarating, terrifying and propulsive, Prophet Song is a work of breathtaking originality, offering a devastating vision of a country at war and a deeply human portrait of a mothers fight to hold her family together.

One of the best books I have ever read. All the stars. This is a brilliant book about a community's decent into war. The author is able to make the reader believe it will all be OK as the world erupts around this family. I lost sleep to race to the end of this novel. #bookerwinner2023 If you only read one novel this year, read this! 5 🌟

AmyG This book was so good….I swear, I got heart palpitations. 2w

Yikes. Dread-filled slide into autocratic regime in Ireland. Language often overripe, nature metaphors heavy. What to tell the children when norms are upended? Even Winston & Julia got a picnic break, but not the Stacks. Worse to worser. Booker prize winner. 2023

40 “the man has been trained for the rules of the game but the game has been changed so what now is the man?”

103 “history is a silent record of people who did not know when to leave”

Wandering through Target and saw this for $8. Not on my TBR list but seeing it was winner decided to give it a go. Dystopian the reviews say. Well for me it was too much of what I‘m seeing now on my TV screen , especially towards the end which I had to speed read . Writing and descriptions well done. It did make me feel uncomfortable.To think that what he wrote about could easily happen and that some of it is.Right now.

CatLass007 When I read the summary of this book when it won the Booker Prize, I got the impression of everything you just said. Thank you for doing the hard work so I didn‘t have to. 1mo

This book has shown me I like my dystopian fiction to have an element of the impossible to it. Prophet Song is dystopian fiction that feels just a few votes away from possible. Riveting and harrowing. 4.5 🌟

Grateful for the beautiful day to offset the despair created by the book.

This book is powerful, scary, devastating but also compassionate and tender. So deserving of its Booker Prize winning status. The reviews were right, I doubt I will ever not be able to recall the details of this book no matter how long has passed.
Comparisons to handmaids tale and 1984 cannot be denied but this book is a masterpiece in its own right and deserves its own status as a literary classic.

So thoroughly horrifying only because it all seems entirely possible as we watch through our screens as the governments swing far right & implement emergency measures to change laws & rape the earth & drop bombs mercilessly on innocent souls ~ so who are we in our safe white suburbs to think we are exempt? The writing is poetic & flows across you like a dark ocean that won‘t stop rolling in & you may drown but the water sparkles nonetheless.

I cannot recall being as frightened by a book since ‘In Cold Blood‘, which aroused a similar feeling that this could just as easily happen to me. As the book begins, Eilish‘s life seems so normal.
Lynch‘s depiction of a totalitarian Ireland is literally gut-wrenching, particularly the final 100 pages which depict the fear and desperation that lead to millions fleeing for a place of refuge. The ending has left me absolutely shaken.

mjtwo I should add this is a completely different book to ‘In Cold Blood‘ and is quite a strange comparison - it has just given me a similar feeling of terror. 3mo

Am stuck for words.
I read a lot of speculative dystopia style fiction but this is one of those that is set now but is becoming dystopia because it's seemingly an end to a society we inhabit.
But it's on the brink of possibility. And it's happening in other countries.
The balance of beautiful lyrical prose against the immense terror is incredible. And the greyness throughout, the realms of knowing and speculated fear.
Such talent.

TrishB Great review 👍🏻 loved this too. 5mo

“… history is a silent record of people who did not know when to leave…” Wow. That was a dark ride. The Booker winner never disappoints me. I also tend to have a thing for Irish authors. A dystopian nightmare, set in Ireland, with a toleration government, though it could have been anywhere. And anywhere today. The main character made me so very angry I might never recover. It‘s phenomenal!

Wow, I'm out of words. This book just left me breathless. It broke my heart over and over and over again. At first I wanted to wait until the German translation would be available, but I'm glad I didn't. This books captures the danger of this time we're living in all too well. This is how it started back then, and this is where we seem to be headed to. This story is a huge warning signal. And shows that it can happen anywhere, everywhere.

This book was chilling, because it seems so plausible. Tyranny has overtaken the government of Ireland, and “enemies of the state” are disappearing. When Eilish‘s husband is arrested, she struggles to keep her family safe while trying to locate him. Nightmarish and beautifully written. I want to read more by Paul Lynch. This one will make my #bookerdozen for sure, still putting together that list, the idea of which I stole from @vivastory .

It‘s hard to call this book dystopian since (as @TrishB said) this could happen anywhere in the world next week. And in reality people in some places are experiencing things along these lines right now. I loved this book even though it is painful to read. Lynch artfully crafted a story of a life moving from the mundane day to day to a fever dream of disbelief, to a nightmare. 💔

I read this because it won the Booker Prize, and I had been expecting The Bee Sting, which I loved, to win. I also love this. It deserves the award. Prophet Song is devastating, heart-wrenching, and terrifying. The language conveys the relentless claustrophobia of the situation. In a near-future Ireland an autocratic regime is challenged, and civil war erupts. A woman with four children and an elderly father has to survive the violence. Brilliant.

Lynch was awarded the Booker for this dystopian novel & may be the title‘s seer: just before he won, anti-immigrant riots erupted in his city, Dublin. the apocalyptic scenes mere days before his win-streetcars were set alight and looters struck-recall Prophet Song. It opens with a new right-wing government passing an Emergency Act. Soon, citizens are forced to flee. An unsettling read set in a just-around-the-corner imperiled Western democracy

The winner of this year‘s Booker Prize

I book I‘ve actually read and given the subject matter I‘m not sure enjoyed is the right word, but it‘s scary and makes you think

Amiable That‘s the book that‘s one long text block, right? With no paragraph breaks? 8mo
AnneCecilie @Amiable If so I didn‘t notice. It has chapters and paragraphs. I‘m terrible at noticing things like that when I get lost in the story, but that might be why you get lost too. 8mo
Amiable @AnneCecilie Oh, I thought I read a review in “The Guardian“ that said it was a story told without quotation marks or paragraph breaks in “ long immersive sentences that increase the feeling of inevitability-- there is no breathing space for Eilish, no pause or respite in the nightmare.“ I was struck by that description. I'll see if I can find the review. 8mo
See All 6 Comments
AnneCecilie @Amiable thank you for sharing The Guardian article, I hadn‘t read that. I never noticed the no quotation marks and the long sentences. Might be because I didn‘t care about the first and I speak without any full stops myself so never notice when there‘s a lot of commas in a text. 8mo
Amiable @AnneCecilie I‘m glad you said you didn‘t notice it when you were reading. The lack of quote marks doesn‘t bother me but I was hesitant to give the book a go when I saw that about the lack of paragraph breaks. 8mo

In Ireland, a new law has been passed giving the new government more power. Larry is a trade unionist who goes missing after a demonstration, leaving his wife to keep the family together and take care of the kids. This might prove harder than imagined as the situation spins out of control and war breaks out.

With everything happening in the world this book shows how it is to live in a war zone and the choices people make.

A frightening novel that expresses how close any of us are from having to escape the terror of civil war and repressive regimes, is also a salutary tale for those who qn motives of immigrants who are forced to leave their home. The story of Eilish + her family is set in a Dublin in which the brutal repression of a union strike leads to a dictatorship that destroys the family. Disturbing but excellent writing that may well win the prize in Nov.

Prophet Song is what I would describe as an absolute banger. This story of the rapidly accelerating decline of democracy and the emergence of a totalitarian state in Ireland is real heart-in-your-mouth storytelling. As implausible as the premise seems, as the freedoms of democratic citizenship are stripped away in this story, it becomes evident that is really the point- this is happening to people who believe it couldn‘t happen to them, And yet…

Set in a very near-future Ireland, which has become a totalitarian police state, Eilish‘s husband is taken by those secret police and she struggles with her family of 4 children and a father descending into dementia.

For about 3/4 of this I loved it, although it is a challenging read, with no breaks between different characters‘ dialogue, and a lot of stream of consciousness narrative.

Towards the end though, the dystopian police state ⬇️

squirrelbrain …became more like conventional warfare and it didn‘t feel as dystopian. There also wasn‘t much about the outside world, whether that be Ireland and the reasons behind the politics, or what the rest of the world was doing. And, as for the ending, another book that doesn‘t actually end and this one really did feel like it was lining up a sequel; the last 1/4 and the ending nearly took it from a pick to a so-so. 11mo
