The Glorious Heresies

Here's a writer who's totally and unmistakably the real deal and whose every page pulses with vim and vitality and mad twisty insights and terrific description and with real tenderness, too.
Kevin Barry

¿ A punchy, edgy, sexy, fizzing feast of a debut novel from an immensely skilled storyteller with a glorious passion for words. I loved it.
Joseph O'Connor

A blisteringly good debut which manifests the true coming of a brilliant new energy in Irish fiction.
Belinda McKeon

A gripping and often riotously funny tale . . . McInerney gifts us a memorable cast that are tough as nails, savagely articulate, and helplessly human.
Colin Barrett

Raw, compelling, witty and furious. The Glorious Heresies strips bare the braggadocio of men.
Arlene Hunt

A real stunner; a wild ride of a read.
Donal Ryan

In The Glorious Heresies, Lisa McInerney draws characters from the margins of society: the fiendish, the faithful, the feckless and the fallen. Her skill is in making poets of them all.
