Michael Foley leert ons de wereld te aanvaarden. Ruimte, tijd, stilte: daarbij vaart een mens wel. Toch zoeken we steeds weer de drukte op en hebben we altijd haast. In zijn bestseller Absurd overvloed stelde hij de vraag: hoe komt het dat we zelden doen waar we gelukkig van worden? In dit boek laat hij zien hoe het wel moet. In het voetspoor van kunstenaars, filosofen en psychologen laat Foley zien wat er waardevol is aan ons gewone leven.

A satirical novel about the pretensions, hypocrisies and paranoia of the literary world and its hangers-on - novelists, poets, academics, passionate women and barking-mad eccentrics - and, for good measure, Northern Irish cultural conditioning, marital breakdown and the maelstrom that passes for family life. Filtered through the bemused, wisecracking observations of the young narrator, the plot gallops through a twenty-year journey from the No...

Autumn Beguiles the Fatalist retains the qualities praised in Michael Foley's earlier poetry - disconcerting candor, rhythmic vitality, mordant wit, and readability. Of Foley's earlier works:
I don't guess too many people have heard of Clifton, Virginia. Least ways that's how it was when I lived there. Times do change though and what was may longer be, and what is might not have been at all and vice versa or something like that. Our farm was about three miles out of town and our mailing address was Route 1, Box 214 Clifton so I guess we were residents. Mom used to refer to the town as "The Village" and I suppose it was, in fact, mo...
