Patrick Boyle

    Tento írsky autor objavil svoj talent na písanie až v strednom veku. Jeho dielo, ktoré sa často zameriava na krátke poviedky, skúma ľudskú skúsenosť s vytvoreným jazykom a hlbokým vhľadom. Boyleov štýl je známy svojou citlivosťou a schopnosťou zachytiť nuansy každodenného života, čo čitateľom ponúka prenikavý pohľad na svet okolo nás. Jeho literárny prínos oceňuje aj Írska akadémia listov.

      Nachts sind alle Katzen grau
    • James Simpson, um die Fünfzig, unverheiratet, viril, leistungsfähig im Büro, am Schanktisch und im Bett, ist Leiter einer kleinen, schmuddeligen Bankfiliale an der Westküste Irlands - ein Mensch wie jeder andere auch, der seine Untergebenen antreibt und die Freizeit mit Freunden am Meer und in den Kneipen der Umgebung verbringt. In Delia, einem ebenso hübschen wie verkommenen Serviermädchen, findet er den Typ, der sein Privatleben aufs angenehmste verschönt. Eines Tages jedoch, nach wüstem Gelage, stellt Simpson entsetzt fest, daß eine Netzhautblutung die Sehkraft seiner Augen beeinträchtigt. Damit beginnt für ihn eine Zeit der Besinnung, aber auch ernsthafter Sorge, ein Zustand, der durch das Verhalten der leichtlebigen Delia verschlimmert wird und schließlich zu unvorhersehbaren dramatischen Zuspitzungen führt.
