About the Author:
Praise for Michael Curtin:
‘Michael Curtin could be called the Irishman’s Julian Barnes’
Daily Mail
‘Curtin is one of Ireland’s best writers. His books are marvellous achievements, very funny and very, very human. He has also created some of the best barmen in modern literature’
Roddy Doyle
‘Ingenious structure... wonderful set-pieces... but what is most remarkable is the way the sheer outrageousness is made to sit comfortably alongside sadness, gentleness and all the other colours of need’
TLS
Michael Curtin is the author of ‘The Cove Shivering Club’, ‘The League Against Christmas’ and ‘The Plastic Tomato Cutter’. He lives in Limerick, Ireland, and supports Young Munster, Manchester United, a pub and a local bookshop.
