En route to a crime scene down back roads in rural Ireland, Sergeant Jackie Noonan briefly flips down her car\u2019s sun visor to check out the sky. \u201cThat is some incarnation of sun,\u201d Noonan announces to her fellow officer Pronsius, and though it falls over a landscape where cows “sit down like shelves of rock in the middle of the fields,\u201d she deems it \u201cequatorial.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> \u201cYou know where Guadalajara is, Pronsius?\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> \u201cIs it the far side of Belmullet?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Technically, she concedes, it is. A little later when she asks him, \u201cYou ever been anywhere exotic, Pronsius?\u201d he replies, \u201cI been the far side of Belmullet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The answer satisfies Noonan, who\u2019d prefer to never cross another time zone or pass through another metal detector again\u2014who considers but never splurges on the expensive coffee in the grocery. She will never be exactly content where she is, but would rather find ways to picture the exotic in the local, to imagine rather than reenter the unknown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe far side of Belmullet\u201d is an ideological state that permeates Colin Barrett\u2019s new short story collection,\u00a0<\/span>Homesickness<\/a>, <\/span><\/i>which opens with Noonan’s character, in the story \u201cA Shooting in Rathreedane.\u201d Like the short stories in Barrett\u2019s fine 2014 debut,\u00a0<\/span>Young Skins,<\/span><\/i>\u00a0which were all set in a fictional small town in his native Ireland, the eight that make up <\/span>Homesickness<\/span><\/i> (all but one of which are also set in rural Ireland) foreground language. That is, the action of the stories proceeds directly from the tensions between the interior and exterior states of its characters, who share variations on the affliction of the collection\u2019s title. This geographical malaise is expressed in lyricism and in dry dialogue, perfectly delivered in a range of hyperlocal articulations of the black humor of marginalized people all over the world. In their natural swings from the darkly comic to the gothic elegiac, Barrett\u2019s stories share some commonality with Tom Drury’s; in their intuitive omissions, Mary Robison’s. At times the characters pointedly admonish each other to condense their speech.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt so happens I think telling people about your dreams is fine,\u201d Emma tells her friend Ciara in \u201cThe Silver Coast,\u201d who is unsurprisingly inept at conveying the details of her ayahuasca ritual in South America to an Irish kitchen table in January, \u201cso long as the account is brief.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A number of the characters in <\/span>Homesickness<\/span><\/i> are writers in one way or another, actively defining themselves within the confines of their world, using language to push at its borders. This is also true even of characters least likely to escape their surroundings. When Noonan and Pronsius encounter the son of the alleged shooter on Rathreedane Road, he identifies himself both floridly and defensively: \u201cI\u2019ve no say in it but every cunt that knows me does call me Bubbles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Elsewhere, visions of the far side of Belmullet beckon, mirage-like. In \u201cThe Ways,\u201d Gerry, reluctantly playing the part of a Yankee ex-mercenary, settles for escaping into the fantasy sunsets of a PlayStation American frontier rendered in Blood Dusk 2<\/em>. In \u201cThe 10,\u201d Danny, a standout soccer player who comes home after failing to secure a league contract, wakes to a screensaver of a \u201cpalely glowing green moss … like the surface of an alien planet.\u201d It turns out to be only a lava field in Iceland. Later, when he takes a few drags off a joint while standing in a wind turbine farm, his racing mind sees the field as a mirror of his own dejected state: \u201cThe grass shimmered in huge silver chevrons where the coastal winds had rhythmically beaten it down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Barrett’s characters must, like short story writers, work within the limitations of form and of place.\u00a0When Sergeant Noonan drives past a pack of teenage boys in town, she has a seemingly small but perfectly realized observation: \u201cThe thing about boys was that they only had the one haircut. That haircut changed every year, but the thing was, they all had it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
