From novelist Niall Williams, bestselling author of Time of the Child and This Is Happiness, a new story set in the small Irish town of Faha, exploring love, loss, and the “why” of life. Mossie Crowe, known as “Ganga,” is that rare man who is beloved by everyone who knows him and is particularly cherished by his best friend, Bat. On one ordinary November day, Bat interrupts their usual evening tea to ask Ganga why God created the earth. But when Ganga passes away that night, Bat finds himself at a loss, without his friend and without an answer to his question. Over the next days, as all of Faha comes to care for and honor the body of the man they loved, Bat begins a new journey towards understanding life, death, and love.
A tender exploration of life’s many meanings,
O Now! is a perfect gift for readers who loved Niall Williams previous Faha novels and features an all-new essay from Niall exploring Faha’s creation and legacy.
