“A deeply attuned portrait of the human mind...An unsettling literary surprise of the best sort.”—Atlantic
“This book is like a flame in daylight: beautiful and unexpected.”—Anne Enright
It is springtime, and two outcasts—a man ignored, even shunned by his village, and the one-eyed dog he takes into his quiet, tightly shuttered life—find each other, by accident or fate, and forge an unlikely connection. As their friendship grows, their small, seaside town falsely perceives menace where there is only mishap—and the duo must take to the road.
Gorgeously written in poetic and mesmerizing prose, Spill Simmer Falter Wither is one of those rare stories that utterly and completely imagines its way into a life most of us would never see. It transforms us in our understanding not only of the world, but also of ourselves.
“A man-and-his-dog story like no other.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“[Spill Simmer Falter Wither] hums with its own distinctiveness.”— Guardian (UK)
“A tour de force...A stunning and wonderful achievement by a writer touched by greatness.”
—Joseph O’Connor, for the Irish Times

Barnes & Noble Spring 2016 Discover Great New Writers · March 2016 Indie Next Pick · 2016 Winter/Spring Indies Introduce Pick · Winner of the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature for 2015 · Winner of theSunday Independent Newcomer of the Year Award (Bord Gáis Energy Irish Book Awards 2015) · Short-listed for the Costa First Novel Award · Long-listed for The Guardian First Book Award 2015, A Readers' Choice · Long-listed for the Warwick Prize for Writing 2015 · Long-listed for 2015 Edinburgh First Novel Award “A deeply attuned portrait of the human mind...An unsettling literary surprise of the best sort. This first novel’s voice is singular in its humility and imaginative range...Baume’s novel revels in aesthetic leaps and dives, embracing the poetry of sensory experience in all its baffling beauty from the title onward...Baume’s prose makes sure we look and listen. Her book insists we take notice.”—The Atlantic "A deft and moving debut...To capture this constrained setting and quiet character requires specific skills, which Baume has in spades...It’s not easy to tell such a sparse tale, to be so economic with story, but the book hums with its own distinctiveness, presenting in singing prose an unforgettable landscape peopled by two unlikely Beckettian wanderers, where hope is not yet lost."—The Guardian “[A] lovely book...destined to become a small classic of animal communion literature.”—Wall Street Journal "Baume’s capacity for wonder turns this portrait of an unusual friendship into a powerful meditation on humanity."—New Statesman "Every so often a book comes along that is so perfect it takes your breath away, and leaves your heart hammering with the beauty of the writing and the sadness of the story . . . Absolutely astounding."—Psychologies, "Book of the Month"
