Media Reviews
‘Déon makes the poet, his life, his works, the absolute epicentre of an intimate wandering. Compass point in place, he traces around him the circle of rosettes of a long walk … We are touched. Conquered.’ —Le Monde ‘Country houses in the rain, Yeats stanzas – as always, the writer excels at mixing humour and seriousness.’ —Le Figaro Magazine ‘Horseman, Pass By! is filled with nostalgia, with humour, with colour, with ghosts. It is a declaration of love for Ireland.’ —Le Magazine Litteraire
Horseman, Pass By! is filled with nostalgia, with humour, with colour, with ghosts. It is a declaration of love for Ireland. * Le Magazine Litteraire *
