Thank you David, I hope you enjoy The Boy from the Sea. If you get all the way down to it.

54 in a list of books by Seamus Heaney Centre students: THE OASIS by Charles Lang, published by Skein Press. "You’re stopped by the voice in these poems," says Alan Gillis. "This debut collection announces Charles Lang as one of the best new poets in Scotland."

13 years ago my son took a hold of me.

This was a great chat and Louise, of course, got a full house. It was in the charming Rathmullan House. Thanks Earagail Arts Festival for having us and Liz Cullinane for the photograph.

North Donegal tonight.

Thank you Sue!

Just finished reading this beauty by @garrettcarr.bsky.social
Pure Donegal. Loved it.
Favourite moments? Calamari on a fishing trawler and a Casserole dish in a kitchen.

The Boy from the Sea, or Il ragazzo venuto dal mare, is out in Italian today. There are print and audio versions. Grazie.

Donegal, according to my 11 year old.

In Lille, France, they have an entire shop that only sells tins of sardines. It's not even that small of a shop.

Great to have The Boy from the Sea included in the Washington Post's list of top reads for the summer.

I was lucky enough to attend a brilliant keynote from Cormac Moore recently in Toronto. His book Root of All Evil: The Irish Boundary Commission is essential to anyone interested in the story of how Ireland's border was supposed to be redrawn, and why it was not.

Great keynote last night in Toronto from Anna Teekell on the Magical Realist border, with writing by Jan Carson, Michael Hughes and Mary Burke.

Fascinating uses of visual material to get at history. Emily Mark-FitzGerald shows us some of the very first photos of Dublin and Jessica Poulin uses a painting to reveal the changing lives of Irish Canadians at the Canadian Association for Irish Studies Annual Meeting.

Book 53 in my list of books by Seamus Heaney Centre students: BLINDSPOT by Hannah King, published recently by No Exit Press. "Beautifully written and heartbreaking, The Blindspot perfectly brings to life family complexities ... stays with you long after you’ve left the page," says Heather Critchlow.

That's a beautiful thing to hear, thank you for messaging me. I hope you and your mother are doing well and I'm delighted to hear that she got so much from The Boy from the Sea.

"absolutes Highlight war „der Junge aus dem Meer“ von Garrett Carr" sounds like it might be good.

I would've loved a chopper as a child so I'm liking this Radio Times illustration. It was used for a recent interview with me in the magazine. The Boy from the Sea is the current Radio Times book club selection. The background is great, it looks like the coast road to Kilcar, west of Killybegs.

Thanks Neil! Great to meet you.

I'm looking forward to meeting Neil and Gerbrand.

No, thank YOU!

Thank you! Greetings from NYC.

I love this graphic. Brilliant to be the Radio Times Book Club selection for May. The BBC Radio 4 adaption continues this week and next. The novel is £1.99 on Kindle at the moment. The US launch is tomorrow in New York, I'm whizzing my way there right now. Over and out.

Delighted to be on this list. Thanks!

There's our Caoilinn, enlivening the window of Harvard Book Store with the US edition of The Alternatives. Complete with praise from The New York Times.

BOMB Magazine | Garrett Carr’s The Boy from the Sea A baby in a makeshift boat mysteriously washes ashore in an Irish fishing village in this “inventive and ambitious” novel.

Congrats @garrettcarr.bsky.social whose novel THE BOY FROM THE SEA (@aaknopf.bsky.social) is out today.

“The Boy from the Sea offhandedly manages in two hundred pages to be at least four books in one.”–Jim Shepard
