Overview

Un retrato de la masculinidad moderna, marcada por la clase, el trauma y el silencio.

Premio Rooney 2023 de Literatura irlandesa

Nero Book Award a mejor debut literario 2023

«Una novela compleja y fascinante sobre la precariedad, la desesperanza y los ecos de la violencia». - David Mejía, El Mundo

Anthony, el hermano de Sean, es un hombre duro. Cuando eran niños, su madre intentó mantenerlos alejados del conflicto, pero tratar con Anto siempre ha sido complicado. Se suponía que Sean debía ser distinto. Se suponía que debía marcharse para no regresar jamás.
 
Pero, tras cuatro años en Liverpool, Sean vuelve a Belfast y se encuentra con una ciudad sumida en la miseria y la frustración, y a sus amigos y a su hermano cada vez más hundidos en el pozo sin fondo del alcohol y las drogas. Una noche, Sean agrede a un desconocido, y ese acto de violencia repentina desencadenará una serie de acontecimientos que lo forzarán a decidir qué tipo de hombre quiere ser.
 
Gracias a su propia experiencia, Michael Magee despliega un retrato de la masculinidad moderna, marcada por la clase, el trauma y el silencio, pero también por la valentía de amar y sobrevivir. Otra vez en casa es una extraordinaria obra de ficción sobre cómo encontrar tu lugar en la ciudad que te ha visto nacer y sobre la lucha por labrarse un futuro en un entorno marcado por la violencia y la desesperanza.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“Michael Magee’s dead-on debut novel is universal.” ―The New York Times Book Review

While growing up in West Belfast, Sean does everything he’s supposed to do. He works hard, he studies, and he―mostly―stays out of trouble. The thirty-year conflict is over, he’s told, and his future is lit with promise.

But when Sean returns home from university, he finds much of the same―the same friends doing the same gear in the same clubs; the same lost brothers and mad fathers; the same closed doors; the same silences. There are no jobs, Sean’s degree isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, and no one will give him the time of day. One night, he assaults a stranger at a party, and everything begins to come undone.

Michael Magee’s luminous debut, Close to Home, begins with this sudden act of violence and expands into a startling portrait of working-class Ireland under the long shadow of the Troubles. It’s a first novel drawn from life, written with the immediacy of thought. It’s about what happens when men get desperate, about the cycles of loss and trauma and secrecy that keep them trapped, and about the struggle to get free.
