Expand description
Much the same could be said of his debut novel. Crowe's Requiem is an eerie, dark, and otherworldly tale of a young man of uncertain origins and of his dreamlike but all-too-rapid transit through life. "Its pages teeming with all sorts of strange spirits and lost souls", wrote Ireland's Current Affairs Monthly, "it is a minor masterpiece . . . uncomfortable but also unforgettable". Rich in language and imagination, it is the work of an uncommonly talented young writer.
