Product Information
An exquisite, heart-breaking novel by an Irish discovery. Radiant with beauty, longing, and desire, and deeply touching, this literary novel, reminiscent of the works of William Trevor and Colm T ib n, evokes the long love affair between a man and a woman, each married to another, who meet every month in a decaying hotel in Coney Island, Brooklyn.On a bitterly cold winter's afternoon, Michael and Caitlin, two middle-aged lovers, escape their unhappy marriages to keep an illicit date. Once a month for the past quarter of a century, Coney Island has been their haven, the place in which they have abandoned themselves to their love. These beautiful, carefully-rationed days have long sustained Michael and Caitlin's love, and have helped help them survive the tedium of their lives separate from each other. But now, amid the howling winds whipping off the Atlantic, and a snow storm blackening the horizon, this nearly abandoned resort feels like the edge of the world. On this winter day, burrowed in their private cocoon, they will discover that their lives are on the brink of change. Michael's wife is battling cancer, and Caitlin's husband is about to receive a major promotion, which will involve relocating to the Midwest. After half a lifetime together in their most intimate moments, certain long-denied facts must be faced, decisions made, consequences weighed and, maybe, just maybe, chances finally taken. A quiet, intense depiction of love and intimacy, My Coney Island Baby reveals, within the course of a single day's passing, the histories, landscapes, tragedies and occasional moments of wonder that constitute the lives of two people who, although living worlds apart, have been inexorably drawn together. But even in this most private of retreats, a place seemingly built for romance, the most heartbreaking of realities loom.

Reviews
I know of no writer on either side of the Atlantic who is better at exploring the human spirit under assault than Billy O'Callaghan., Evoking William Trevor and Colm Toibin...This book is a quiet a taboo-breaker...In simple but elegant language, O'Callaghan presents an intricate look inside a relationship -- and the moment when it all is about to change... Yes, they're adulterers and betrayers of those they've sworn to love, but from a novelistic point of view that only adds to the drama and tragedy of their lives -- beautifully expressed by this fine chronicler of inner worlds., This is not an epic novel. There are no heroes. It is the story of two ordinary people trapped in their ordinary lives. But in the hands of O'Callaghan it is magnified to the truly extraordinary. A great tragedy. I long thought Anita Brookner the high priestess when it comes to telling the tales of loneliness and defeat. But she's now got company., O'Callaghan [has made a] significant achievement in this fine novel... Good books remind us of other good books and in its treatment of adultery this one calls to mind thematic ancestors such as Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina and The Scarlet Letter., Intensely romantic... Billy O'Callaghan is a writer who has an unyielding faith in the strength and vitality of language to convey the emotions and the physical world. In this sense, he is old-fashioned, straight out of the much-neglected D.H. Lawrence school of writing... he is also a writer who knows how to control his characters, his narrative, and... his voice. That's what counts, and it's what makes My Coney Island Baby such a good novel., With poeticism and aching sensitivity, O'Callaghan unknots the minute workings of these starved adulterous souls ... images rendered here stick with you, such is the intensity that they shimmer with., Billy O'Callaghan's work is at once subtle and direct, warm and clear-eyed, and never less than beautifully written. He has a moving ability to express the hopes and fears of 'ordinary' people, and he knows intimately the ways of the world. He richly deserves a world-wide reputation. This writer is the real thing.", O'Callaghan has a keen sense of observation for emotional nuance, and his use of language is simply a delight to the mind's ear... My Coney Island Baby is perfect for reading next to the fire on a gray day, snuggled under a blanket with a cup of tea or something a little stronger, as the wood and your dreams give off their last bit of heat before turning into smoke., Compellingly readable...An impressive work...Through one day in a years long extramarital affair, an Irish writer looks at intimacy and estrangement... The prose [is] exceptional, elegiac and eloquent, in conveying insight and sympathy for the small cast's two main players as they face an uncertain future..., ...In the closing pages, O'Callaghan's prose reaches a pitch of emotional intensity that ensures these characters will linger with you long after the book is closed., A poignant, piercing meditation on middle age and the passing of time... these characters will linger with you long after the book is closed., It's that rare thing, a tender straight-ahead love story which convinces thoroughly while steering clear of the fashionably dysfunctional and transgressive relationships that dominate so much contemporary fiction. . .Good books remind us of other good books, and in its treatment of adultery this one calls to mind thematic ancestors such as Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina and The Scarlett Letter., An attentive portraitist, [O'Callaghan] writes beautifully, and at length, about gestures, glances and other fleeting moments... A small story told at close range, My Coney Island Baby is suffused with great, painful beauty., Vividly Rendered... O'callaghan Excels at Painting a Portrait of Physical and Emotional Isolation., My Coney Island Baby, a second novel by the accomplished short-story writer Billy O'Callaghan, offers an amicable and committed picture of heartbreak., Billy O'Callaghan's writing is a profound, uncommon blend of grit and beauty, with sentences that, like his characters, are simultaneously sparse and infinitely rich., Quiet, subtle and deeply moving ... This is a fine novel, with elegance and wisdom lying beneath an unpretensious surface and O'Callaghan, a gifted writer, has managed to do that most difficult of things: take a quiet, almost everyday story and transform it into a thing of beauty., In some ways [the] book reads a little bit like a modern-day Lady Chatterley's Lover, with the lovers making their way to rendezvous at Coney Island rather than in a gamekeeper's hut...Overall, there is much to savor in the book., An illicit meeting between long-term lovers makes for a poignant, piercing meditation on middle age and the passing of time...In the closing pages, O'Callaghan's prose reaches a pitch of emotional intensity that ensures these characters will linger with you long after the book is closed., My Coney Island Baby is that rare thing, a tender straight-ahead love story which convinces thoroughly while steering clear of the fashionably dysfunctional and transgressive relationships that dominate so much contemporary fiction. . .Good books remind us of other good books, and in its treatment of adultery this one calls to mind thematic ancestors such as Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina and The Scarlett Letter.
