Bullfighting

BULLFIGHTING moves from classrooms to graveyards, local pubs to bullrings. 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.
