The New Ireland,
By A. Ross (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Shenanigans Pb (Paperback)
This collection of 19 stories "from the wrong side of midnight" feature a young cadre of writers "from a generation with a different set of rules." As one might surmise from such jacket copy, the resulting are offbeat stories (many of which feature drugs, music, low level crime) which could be characterized as the Irish equivalent of the Scottish new wave (Welsh, Warner, et al), or as written riffs styled on the Coen Brothers/Tarantino combo of violence and dark humor. In fact, many of the stories are so similar in tone, style, and characterization that one could easily imagine they all came from the same laptop. One word of warning, the book leads off with two of the weakest stories, so don't be put off if you don't get into it right away.
