The 'Albany Cycle' is one of the greatest achievements in postwar American literature. The two volumes contain all of Kennedy's 'Albany Cycle' novels, which bubble and crack with the energy of Irish immigrants trying to take the main chance in the land of opportunity.
In 'Quinn's Books', Daniel Quinn is thrust into a bewildering adventure though 19th century America, witnessing the rise and fall of great dynasties in upstate New York, exotic life in the theatre and horrific battle between Irish immigrants and the "Know-Nothings".
'The Flaming Corsage' unravels the mystery of Manhattan's "Love Nest Killings of 1908" the players in which take us back to the 1880s, and to the origin of all their troubles, in Albany.
