Dermot Bolger’s Tanglewood is a superb novel about the implosion not only of the economy in the mid-2000s, but the implosion of marriage and morality and memory too. Bolger does it masterfully, as always. He has been prying open the Irish ribcage since he was 16 years old. With Tanglewood all his talents are on display…Pound for pound, word for word, I’d have Bolger represent us in any literary Olympics.
