The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty is a lyrical tale by acclaimed Irish playwright Sebastian Barry. It follows the life of Eneas McNulty, a man whose happy, innocent childhood in County Sligo in the early 1900s is disrupted by the violence and conflict that grips Ireland.

After World War I, Eneas, unable to find work, joins the British-led police force, the Royal Irish Constabulary. This decision brands him a traitor to Irish nationalists, forcing him to flee from the IRA hitmen. Eneas leaves behind his homeland, his family, and Viv, the woman he loves.

His journey takes him to the Isle of Dogs, a haven for sailors, where he finds redemption through a final act of generosity. The novel is a compelling saga that illuminates Ireland's complex history and tells the poignant story of a lost man.
