  A searing, surreal novel that bleeds fantasy and reality — and Beatles fandom
  — from one of literature's most striking contemporary voices, author of the
  international sensation City of Bohane.
  
  
  It is 1978, and John Lennon has escaped New York City to try to find the
  island off the west coast of Ireland he bought nine years prior. Leaving
  behind domesticity, his approaching forties, his inability to create, and his
  memories of his parents, he sets off to find calm in the comfortable silence
  of isolation. But when he puts himself in the hands of a shape-shifting driver
  full of Irish charm and dark whimsy, what ensues can only be termed a magical
  mystery tour.
  
  
  Beatlebone is a tour de force of language and literary imagination that
  marries the most improbable element to the most striking effect.
