The rise and fall of social status
With his compelling family saga The Bee Sting (nominated for the Booker Prize), Irish author Paul Murray broke through to a wider audience. Through the portraits of four family members, Murray explores the rise and fall of social status and the stifling atmosphere of a small rural village, all set against the backdrop of a crumbling Ireland.
