What is There Are Little Kingdoms : Stories about?

From the author of City of Bohane and Dark Lies the Island , a debut collection that ''could easily have been titled 'These Are Little Masterpieces''' ( The Irish Times ) This award-winning story collection summons all the laughter, darkness, and intensity of contemporary Irish life. A pair of fast girls court trouble as they cool their heels on a slow night in a small town. Lonesome hillwalkers take to the high reaches in pursuit of a saving embrace. A bewildered man steps off a country bus in search of his identity - and a stiff drink. These stories, filled with a grand sense of life's absurdity, form a remarkably surefooted collection that reads like a modern-day Dubliners . Winner of the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, and a 2007 book of the year in the Irish Times , the Sunday Tribune , and Metro , There Are Little Kingdoms marks the stunning entrance of a writer who burst onto the literary scene fully formed.
