About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Songdogs by Colum McCann, read by Dion Graham.

The debut novel from National Book Award winner and Booker nominee Colum McCann

'Colum McCann conjures a hugely inventive debut' Observer

‘McCann writes equally well about Ireland, America and Mexico, and he links past and present in a finely woven narrative: Songdogs is a vivid, beautifully measured book’ Sunday Times
__________________
Colum McCann's first novel goes back to the years before the Spanish Civil War, following the adventures of a peripatetic Irish photographer from the war-strewn shores of Europe to the exotic plains of Mexico.

The story is told in the words of the photographer's only son, a wanderer himself, who uses his father's unreliable memories and the fading remnants of his art to piece together his family history and explain the mystery surrounding his mother – a Mexican beauty brought back by his father to Ireland.
