Upcoming Meeting – Night Boat to Tangier
By Kevin Barry
In the dark waiting room of the ferry terminal in the sketchy Spanish port of Algeciras, Maurice Hearne and Charlie Redmond sit at night, none too patiently. It is October 23, 2018, and they are expecting Maurice’s estranged daughter, Dilly, to either arrive on a boat coming from Tangier or depart on one heading there. This nocturnal vigil will initiate an extraordinary journey back in time to excavate their shared history of violence, romance, mutual betrayals and serial exiles, rendered with the dark humor and the hardboiled Hibernian lyricism that have made Kevin Barry one of the most striking and admired fiction writers at work today.
