Paul Lynch's fifth novel PROPHET SONG will be published by Oneworld on 7 September 2023. The book is set in an Ireland falling under the spell of a totalitarian government and tells the tale of Eilish Stack who tries desperately to keep her family together.
“On a dark, wet evening in Dublin, scientist and mother-of-four Eilish Stack answers her front door to find the GNSB on her doorstep. Two officers from Ireland’s newly formed secret police want to speak with her husband, Larry, a trade unionist for the Teachers’ Union of Ireland. Things are falling apart. Ireland is in the grip of a government that is taking a turn towards tyranny. And as the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, Eilish finds herself caught within the nightmare logic of a collapsing society — assailed by unpredictable forces beyond her control and forced to do whatever it takes to keep her family together.
Exhilarating, terrifying, propulsive and confrontational, Prophet Song is a work of breathtaking originality, a novel that can be read as a parable of the present, the future and the past.”
Advance praise for Prophet Song:
“A monumental novel, prose so flawless and flowing that reading it is akin to being taken up in a wave. You emerge dazed. You remember why fiction matters. It's hard to recall a more powerful novel in recent years.”
— Samantha Harvey, author of The Western Wind
For IT security teams, the centralization provided by an SSO ID is invaluable, allowing for more robust access control and easier auditing of user activity across multiple applications.
As the world's largest biometric ID system, the sheer scale and technical backbone of my Aadhaar UIDAI are truly remarkable from a governance perspective.
Lynch's ability to weave a narrative that reflects the tensions and complexities of such a world is compelling. It appears to be a timely and powerful piece of literature that delves into themes of control, resistance, and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
