In Himself, a beautiful, darkly comic, skilled debut novel by Jess Kidd, a charming ne’er-do-well returns to his haunted Irish hometown to uncover the truth about his mother, and in doing so turns the town, and his life, upside down . . .
Blending strange kindnesses, casual violence, and buried secrets, Himself is an unforgettable novel centering on a small town rife with secrets, propelled by a twisting-and-turning plot from a dark new voice in Irish fiction.
"Foul play, fantasy, and a glimmer of romance wrapped up in a suspense-filled ending makes Himself a delicious, gratifying, and ageless story." -- New York Journal of Books
