City of Bohane: A Novel Kevin Barry
2053, the post-apocalyptic West Ireland. Logan Hartnett, the charismatic leader of the Hartnett Fancy gang, has ruled the city of Bohane for many a year, and doesn’t intend to let go of power anytime soon. There are challenges though: his long-time rival returns to the city after long exile, a competing gang from the destitute Rises in the north begins to beat war drums, and his own subordinates have started to scheme. Will he manage to retain his power, or at the least to keep his head on his shoulders? And does the city of Bohane, enamoured with the lost time and divided between several clans, have a future?

An Irish Novel about a Town of the Future Governed by Hipsters: a Review of City of Bohane
By Yulia Dutka
02.04.2019
The first experience is not always successful, but the book that
discovered the phenomenon of Irish novel for me was so magnificent that
to write about it adequately, without interspersing the text with the
exclamations “You cannot imagine how cool it is!”, or “Drop everything
and read City of Bohane”, would be difficult.

Ireland will survive the apocalypse and be reborn. In 2053, it will return to correspondence and news-papers, and the main transport will be trams (they will determine the prestige of districts). The city of Bohane on the banks of the river of the same name is ruled by hipsters — a great taste for clothing and no taboos in cruelty.

Mad Max, Beautiful Girls and Ronaldo: 5 Fascinating Books
By Ihor Bondar-Tereshchenko
29.03.2019
This novel will undoubtedly captivate our reader and, above all, fans of action-packed psychological reading. According to critics, the story and charismatic characters are reminiscent of “Mad Max” and “The Gangs of New York”, as well as the ballads of Bob Dylan and Tom Waits, but the atmosphere is similar to that of Sergio Leone and Tarantino.

April is the second month of the most romantic season. In the spring, the soul blossoms and fills with new colours. Therefore, this period is the most fruitful for creativity and self-development.

Isaacson and Peterson: Top 5 Books to Read in April
By Mykhailo Kurdiukov
30.03.2019
Each month, the RIA/20minutes editorial office together with the bookstore “Je” consultant Oleh Penishkevych select five books that they believe are worth reading. …The contents of the books in this collection have nothing to do with each other. They are all different, and, for example, we cannot in any way bind the biography of the eminent Benjamin Franklin to the production of amber in the west of our country. The long grubbing in reasons for living of common man is not intertwined with the realities in which Irish gangs will live in the future.

For example, Kevin Barry's “The City of Bohane” (the Astrolabe Publishing) is a post-apocalyptic thriller about a gang war in Western Ireland in 2053.
Post-Apocalypse, The White House, and the Life of Messi — 5 Books That Worth Translation
By Ihor Bondar-Tereshchenko
28.03.2019
All the books in this review are striking with two professional qualities. The first is the promptness of publishers who watch the release of international bestsellers. Secondly, the quality of translations, which makes unknown, scandalous or kept-quiet topics more accessible and understandable for the Ukrainian reader.

Kevin Barry, “The City of Bohane”. I picked up the book to take a break from the bloody Middle Ages by Sapkowski and fell into no less bloody showdowns of post-apocalyptic Ireland. The near future has experienced an unnamed catastrophe that changed the world.
“The City of Bohane”: When You Feel the Book
By Iryna Zinchenko
28.11.2019
The abstract hints that a pile of banditry on the remains of the post-apocalyptic world will be waiting for you; that the whole conflict was reduced to a gang war; that the answer to the question “Who conquered and gained power over the city of Bohane?” will be the upshot. The abstract is misleading. However, would you buy a book if you were told that this story is not about actions but about moods?
