About this ebook
"Els amants de Coney Island és una novel·la alhora subtil i directa, càlida i lúcida, escrita amb un estil extraordinari. Billy O'Callaghan té una capacitat commovedora per expressar les esperances i les pors de la gent "normal", i coneix íntimament com funciona el món. Es mereix tot el reconeixement internacional. O'Callaghan és un dels grans",
John Banville
"Celebrem l'arribada d'una nova veu al panteó de l'escriptura irlandesa contemporània",
Edna O´Brien
"O'Callaghan ha obtingut una fita admirable en aquesta gran novel·la. Els bons lilbres ens recorden altres bons lilbres, i en el seu tractament de l'adulteri aquest recorda clàssics com Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina i The Scarlet Letter,
Sunday Times
