Follow on Google News | Attention Book Bloggers: Review Copy of "Kissing the Hag" by Timothy Quigley AvailableTimothy Quigley deftly interweaves Celtic mythology, Christian dogma, street smarts, New Age drunk talk and mad men's ravings, to create a deeply compassionate portrait of a jaded, disillusioned man's struggle to get his life back on track.
By: Pixel Hall Press About Kissing the Hag Bret Lott, the author of Jewel (an Oprah pick), has said of Kissing the Hag that it is "a dark night of the soul, a harrowing trip into the battered heart of the narrator…. Mr. Quigley... brings us through this night, and into the day…with grace, where new life and forgiveness abide." Since the suicide of his younger brother, Julien has burrowed away from life, turning his back on family and friends. His only human contacts are the denizens of a downtown Boston homeless shelter where he works the graveyard shift. One in particular - Rosie, an Irish "hag" - helps guide Julien through a particularly dark night, as he traverses the dim caverns and blind curves of the human spirit. The single night is filled with flashbacks, interactions with shelter transients, and Irish storytelling, that Julien hopes against hope might help him find some kind of resolution and purpose. "[Timothy Quigley's fiction]... is wonderful... buoyant and lively and crackling with fascinating energies and tensions." -- Dr. James D'Agostino, author of Nude with Anything and Editor of The Chariton Review.
