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.

In the dark times
will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing.
About the dark times.
~ Bertold Brecht
As quoted in #ProphetSong by #PaulLynch
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.

mijn #recensie van #ProphetSong #boeken #lezen
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.
You're a braver man than me! I'm not sure could re-read #ProphetSong
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…
Huge congratulations to Paul Lynch, whose @thebookerprizes.bsky.social winner #ProphetSong is in the top 50 best Irish books of the 21st century.

The cover of the novel Prophet Song by Paul Lynch.
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-...
A close-up picture of the book ‘Prophet Song’ by Paul Lynch. The book is sitting on a gray surface.
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

Screenshot of the book Prophet Song by Paul Lynch in which the characters father says “if you change ownership of the institutions then you can change ownership of the facts, you can alter the structure of belief, what is agreed upon, that is what they are doing…”
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…

It’s either the best time or the worst time to be reading Paul Lynch’s #ProphetSong
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
I would also recommend #ProphetSong by #PaulLynch
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
Finished #TheInstrumentsofDarkness by @jconnollybooks.bsky.social . Super read as always.
