WINNER OF THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2019SHORTLISTED FOR THE ENCORE AWARD 2020From the author of This Is Memorial Device.A gaspinducing thrill of a ride. i IndependentAn exhilarating novel, burning with rage, danger and dark humour. Literary ReviewRemarkable . . . demented brilliance. Scotland on SundayBelfast, 1970s Sammy and his three friends live in an impoverished area of the city that has become the epicentre of a country seemingly intent on cannibalising itself. They love sharp clothes, a good drink, and the songs of Perry Como, whose commitment to clean living holds up a dissonant mirror to their own attempts to rise above their circumstances. They dream of a Free State, and their methods for achieving this are uncompromising. But For the Good Times is not just a novel about the IRA. It is about the heartbreak and devastation that commitment to the cause can bring of violence and betrayal, breakdown and rebirth.
