Description
This magnificent collection takes us to a small town in rural Ireland, where youth have the run of the place. Boy racers speed down the back lanes; couples haunt the midnight woods; young skins huddle in the cold once The Peacock has closed its doors. Here, the young live hard and wear the scars.
Each story is defined by a youth lived in a crucible of menace and desire, and each crackles with the uniform energy and force that distinguish this terrific collection. With its raw power and unflinching gaze, Colin Barrett's debut explores the complexities of youth culture and the consequences of living on the edge.
