STRANGERS IN IRELAND begins in a remote peninsula in western Ireland where artists, hippies, and Buddhists migrated from many countries during the 1970’s to form an alternative life-style community. Parachuted into a rugged and isolated peninsula, the intensity of their tensions and conflicts built up to broken trusts and betrayals, fracturing the landscape of rural Ireland into taunt interconnected vignettes. The same characters reappear in a kaleidoscope of scenes from the 1960’s ascendancy Dublin of Hunt Balls, the tower blocks of London and Glasgow, the American mid-west in the 1880′s. The hippy trail to India segues into the colonial Raj. The characters are transmogrified but remain 'blow-ins'. They are strangers to the cultures they have come to, weaving tales in and out through a complex tapestry of unrelenting violence, graphic depraved sexuality, greed – and revenge, all set against descriptions of lands and seas of great beauty. 'Strangers in Ireland’ demonstrates the universal reality of the eternal struggle between the ordinary kindness of men and women and the evil that can consume them.
Strangers In Ireland eBook Tony Lowes Laurence Bicknell
I was constantly surprised by the twists and turns, the switches from idyllic illumination to the appalling rawness of reality, to the blackest, bleakest humor. Hope and desperation.There are squirming themes and threads connecting the tsunami of scattershot vignettes that merge to form the narrative of Strangers In Ireland. They bubble up and sink away as a bewildering cast of characters moves forward, sideways and, significantly down in seemingly random changes of circumstance.
The most awful tragedy eats away at idyllic exaltation, feral youths plunder innocence and good intent curdles in the face of callous, meaningless acts by men barely in control of their bodies - never mind their destinies (Duke is one of the scariest, funniest characters I never want to meet!).
Lowes is picking at the identities of his rootless characters, privileged wasters struggling to find place and meaning in the alien cultures they drift into. It's a horror show at times, but it's also a hoot and a celebration of diversity and change.
