These new stories by the acclaimed author of "Notes from a Turkish Whorehouse" are at once visionary, hilarious and piercingly observant. Whether he is imagining a father and son walking the streets of Cairo or concocting a hilarious parody of a certain wildly popular inspirational author from Brazil, Philip O Ceallaigh is a writer who demands to be read.

Review:

An artist of extraordinary gifts ... already touched by greatness ... Of the dozen stories here, perhaps ten are so perfectly achieved and exhilaratingly confident that you feel � Ceallaigh is developing a form all his own (Joseph O'Connor Guardian)

It's a long time since I have read a collection of stories so absolutely pleasing on every level ... Every story makes you feel that you're in the presence of a powerful, questioning intelligence (Independent)

� Ceallaigh's command rarely falters ... a sharply funny collection (Sunday Times)

Book Description:

'� Ceallaigh is incapable of being uninteresting - because he keeps coming at life from the most unexpected of angles'
