It features an array of men at their working day and at rest, taking stock of their lives and reliving past glories. Each is concerned with loss in different ways - of his place in the world, of power, virility, love, of the boom days and the Celtic Tiger. Brilliantly observed, funny and moving, this bitter-sweet collection of short stories presents a new vision of contemporary Ireland, its woes and its triumphs.
