Fighting with Shadows is Dermot Healy s
long-awaited and extraordinary first novel,
which more than fulfils the expectation created
by his prize-winning collection of stories,
Banished Misfortune.
Set in the beautifullake country that straddles
the Fermanogh border, the novel opens in the
Northern Irish village of Fanacross through
which a river passes from the South to the
North and back to the South again, leaving in
its wake bombed bridges, army checkpoints
and failed communities. At first the people
drift helplessly amid rumours of drought in
the South and news of death in the North, then
the full impact of the war takes its course.
In this unpredictable world where the Allen
family - one among many - is being pulled
apart by state and paro-military violence,
and where the violence of that conflict has
been internalized and love seems to be br-
ever thwarted, life has become a fight with
shadows.
But while the novel concerns itself with
tragedy and survival, it is at the same time a
book of outstanding vitality and humour set
robustlyin the here-and-now of contemporary
Ireland, and the Aliens and the many other
characters have a resilience and dignity that
commands respect. In Fighting with Shadows
Dermot Healy has written a novel which is
both a cride coeur and a celebration of life.
