Easily the best left-book-behind find EVER! Up the Gambia river at the Kairoh garden guesthouse kuntaur. I'm tempted to read it a second time... But that wouldn't be fair, would it? #prophetsong #booksharing

This is an amazing book! It really shook me up quite a bit. I found myself thinking about the family and their struggles to hold on to “normality.” Beautiful language, too.

will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing.
About the dark times.

This might be a pretty good time for everyone to read this amazing book. Ya’ll don’t think it can happen here? Well it can and it is. This is a work of fiction, but it isn’t far from reality.

The gradual deconstruction of a functioning society reminds the reader of how extremes never start out being extremes. It’s the silent, seamless shifts that push us into irreversible dead ends. #ProphetSong #PaulLynch #BookChat #booksky

Lynch fills abstractions with life and then more life, until they take the form of a body that smells and moves and feels like the abstraction it once was. #ProphetSong #PaulLynch #BookChat #booksky

Just shared with sister my dismay at giving up on “Prophet Song”, so powerful & beautifully written, but giving me actual nightmares. Started watching “Andor”, which strikes me as being Prophet Song as performed by The Carpenters, while also being brilliant.

Reading #prophetsong by #paullynch was more grueling than reading #thepaintedbird — whether this is praise is left as an exercise for the reader.

Rereading Paul Lynch’s #ProphetSong and it’s every bit as scary 2nd time on the slow-not-slow descent into fascism & war, but its Gaza-genocide vibe of a government attacking hospitals and transferring patients into detention because “terrorism” is now at least as terrifying and even more prescient…

The harrowing vision of armed conflict in a prosperous, First World country that #PaulLynch explores in his #novel #ProphetSong seems more and more relevant everyday. It was one of the ten most notable #books I read in 2024. doncurren.blogspot.com/2025/01/ten-...

I know that #handmaidstale is circulating people’s reading lists again due to the current political climate. Another great read that hits chillingly close to home is #prophetsong. This is the most grounded depiction of life after a political upheaval that I’ve read. #bookclub #goodreads #pageturner.

When I read #ProphetSong by @paullynchauthor in Ireland in 2024, little did I think I would live it in Washington DC in 2025. Hope it doesn’t end the same. @thebookerprizes.bsky.social

I read #ProphetSong by Paul Lynch last summer & while reading, I kept thinking that if he wins, this could be our future; especially as I learned more about Project 2025. This part stood out to me & kept coming to mind during this past week, as well as the emotions I felt while reading.

Of all the things I can’t stop thinking about in this book, how does Paul Lynch so exquisitely articulate the agony of motherhood?

I’m still reeling…

My favourite read of the year thus far. I became completely invested once I was used to the breakneck style and, whilst I longed for a happier ending, I could understand why it was necessary not to go in that direction. #BookSky #Books #ProphetSong

When fiction becomes reality. I'm reading Prophet Song--dsytopian novel by Irish author Paul Lynch about authoritarian takeover--as the countdown begins. In case you're wondering, moral of the story seems to be: get the fuck out while you can. #Booksky #OctaviaWarnedUs #ProphetSong
