Items related to Bad Day in Blackrock
Lives are shattered when three private school-educated, rugby-playing young men attack another young man outside a Dublin nightclub. On a late August night, a young man is kicked to death outside a Dublin nightclub and celebration turns to devastation. The reverberations of that event, its genesis and aftermath, is the subject of this extraordinary story, stripping away the veneer of a generation of Celtic cubs, whose social and sexual mores are chronicled and dissected in this tract for our times. The victim, Conor Harris, his killers - three of them are charged with manslaughter - and the trial judge share common childhoods and schooling in the privileged echelons of south Dublin suburbia. The intertwining of these lives leaves their afflicted families in moral free fall as public exposure merges with private anguish and imploded futures.

About the Author:
Kevin Power attended University College, Dublin, and lives in Dublin. He was shortlisted in 2007 for RTE's Francis McManus Award.
Review:
"* 'Kevin Power is an author of magnificent control, stirring the deepest compassion with restless anger in this piercing contemporary novel' Frank McGuinness * 'It's an excellent novel...It comes from the gut, it's raw, it's passionate and it suggests... that there are a group of young Irish novelists about to be set loose on the world like a pack of hungry wolves. Bring 'em on, I say. I'll read them.' John Boyne, author of The Boy in Striped Pyjamas * 'This novel marks the debut of a deeply moral and probing writer - and a potentially great one' Sunday Post (Ireland)"
