A brilliant collection of eleven very funny, dark stories by a Booker Prize shortlisted author.
Michael Collins explores different aspects of the Irish character, and neatly satirises his country’s current preoccupations.
Feminism, alcohol, emigration and the Church – none escape the author’s caustic and unforgiving eye. As always with Collins, there are humour and horror in equal measure, love and betrayal mingled with defiance and laughter.
‘Michael Collins’s vision is breathtakingly black and his writing so sharp you could cut yourself on it’ IRISH TIMES
