Life is a Winding Journey: Short Stories About Growing Up in Cork Ireland

Pete Duffy the natural heir to John B. Keane and Frank O Connor and the peoples poet completes his trilogy in magnificent style with Life is a Winding Journey. Full of humour and pathos and packed with zany and compulsively readable characters these stories will provide mind-trips to anyone of a certain age while younger readers will find no better flavour of the city anywhere in all of literature. The musicians ear is as usual fully employed and the voice within these tales is rough-hewn and condensed. In bringing Corks bygone era to bristling and visceral life Pete Duffy has produced one of the years undeniable must-reads. A treasure!
