Soon after the Anglo-Irish Agreement, when the tension was at a peak in Northern Ireland, Colm Tóibin travelled along the Irish border from Derry to Newry. Bad Blood tells of fear and anger, and of the historical legacy that has imprinted itself on the landscape and its inhabitants.
Marches, demonstrations and funerals are rituals observed by the communities that live along this route. With insight and intelligence Tóibin listens to the stories that are told, and unfolds for the reader the complex unhappiness of this fraught border.
Colm Tóibin was born in Ireland in 1955, and lives in Dublin. He is the author of four novels, including the 1999 Booker nominated The Blackwater Lightship. His non-fiction includes Bad Blood, Homage to Barcelona, The Sign of the Cross, and, most recently, Love in a Dark Time.
