Solar Bones is a 2016 novel by Irish fiction writer Mike McCormack. The book is notable for featuring only a single sentence, with all events written as a recollection from the present. The novel's plot revolves around Marcus Conway, a middle-aged engineer who has returned home on All Souls' Day, and is reminiscing about the events of his life while sitting at his kitchen table. Themes of the novel are: order and chaos, love and subsequent loss, and the ability of minor decisions to ripple and inevitably create large outcomes. The novel also comments on "contemporary Irish masculinity" as it discusses the various roles one faces as a husband, father, son, brother, colleague, and neighbor. Solar Bones won the 2016 Goldsmiths Prize and the 2018 International Dublin Literary Award, and was longlisted for the 2017 Man Booker Prize. The novel appeared in the bestsellers charts in Ireland in June and July 2018. Hodges Figgis listed it as their third highest selling Irish novel of the decade 2010–2020.
