The Singularities by John Banville
Here comes John Banville’s 20th novel under his
own name, a wild masked ball rife with gossip about the books that have
preceded it. We are in the world of 2009’s The Infinities,
with which The Singularities shares an Irish country-house setting and a
handful of characters. But here, too, is Freddie Montgomery, the
violent protagonist of an earlier trilogy of novels – The Book of
Evidence, Ghosts and Athena – itself seeded by a real-life murder in
1982 that not only horrified Ireland but scandalised it when links to
the country’s political class emerged. Alex Clark, The Guardian
