Portrait

Benjamin Black

Benjamin Black loves to delve into the line between the physical and spiritual worlds. He read his first fantasy novel in eighth grade and has been addicted ever since. In 2010, after years as a failed clergyman, Benjamin's life radically changed when he encountered both faith and the supernatural, to which he has dedicated his life ever since. His encounters inspired The Exorcist Case Files. He currently lives with his wife in the eastern United States and is a sucker for a good story.

Pressestimmen

'A beautifully written and a scrupulously characterized portrait of mid-twentieth- century Dublin' Literary Review 'As with the previous books, this one is replete with all the period detail and atmospherics one could hope for in a thriller. Black is a master of presentation. The nudges and the winks, the red herrings and the wool-pullings are all consummately done. The gears of the plot mesh silently and inexorably and the whole machine moves forward to its disastrous outcome. On the way to its terminus, the book becomes more and more Banvillean and it is all the better for that ... But Black's and Quirke's Dublin remains the gritty and deplorable place it has always been and Vengeance is a memorable and compelling snapshot' Independent Ireland 'Engaging ... The liquid precision of the writing presents convincing characters. It renders the drama of their lives as strangely matter-of-fact while fully illuminating the forces at work. We are deftly led through a complex entanglement of charged but often spent relationships. There is a blunt empathy with the principal characters that is curiously affecting. Effortlessly, it would seem, and never wanting, Banville's description of the physical world is superb. Vengeance is the fifth novel in the Quirke Dublin series by John Banville, writing under the pen name Benjamin Black. It is a pleasure to read' Irish Times
