Here and in the towns beyond, the young live hard and wear the scars. Amongst them, there's jilted Jimmy, whose best friend, Tug, is the terror of the town and Jimmy's sole company in his search for the missing Clancy kid; Bat, a lovesick soul with a face like "a bowl of mashed-up spuds" even before Nubbin Tansey's boot kicked it in; and Arm, a young and desperate criminal whose fate is shaped when he and his partner, Dympna, fail to carry out a job. In each story, a local voice delineates the grittiness of post-boom Irish society. These are unforgettable characters rendered through silence, humor, and violence"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Short stories. 651 0 $a Ireland $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 941 $a 4 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220505010425.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180105034303.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20151103032028.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20151103013223.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=801E84C6D83411E4A97AA47EDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
