The funny, moving, long-awaited masterwork from "Ireland's finest living novelist" (Roddy Doyle) Celebrated Irish author Dermot Healy's first novel in more than ten years is a rich, beguiling, compassionate, and wonderfully funny story about community, family, love, and bonds across generations. Set in an isolated coastal town in northwest Ireland, Long Time, No See centers around an unforgettable cast of innocents and wounded, broken misfits. The story is narrated by a young man known as Mister Psyche who takes up with and is then drawn into a series of bemusing and unsettling misadventures with two men some fifty years his senior--his grand uncle Joejoe and Joejoe's neighbor The Blackbird--wonderful, eccentric characters full of ancient jealousies and grudges and holding some very dark secrets.
