The stories in this debut collection present a harsh and unsentimental view of the mudane, underscored by moments of beauty, humour and pathos. The characters inhabit a world that can seem dangerously indifferent to human feeling, but alive to the thrills of living on the edge.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful...wonderful...wonderful,
By Fergus Geraghty (Dublin, Eire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Curfew and Other Stories (Paperback)
Bought it recently in Dublin and couldn't put it down. Compelling stuff. Took me a few pages to get into the flow - this is definitely not pulp-fiction - the timing, humour and general make-up of the short stories can only be described as class. I particularly liked the Harry O'Hagan story. Anyone who has grown up in Ireland will get a great kick out of that one....I find myself going back to the book again and again....Well worth the ten quid and can't wait for the follow up.
