- Short Stories About Growing Up in Cork, Ireland

About Life is a Winding Journey

"Pete Duffy, the natural heir to John B. Keane and Frank O' Connor and the people's poet, completes his trilogy in magnificent style with Life is a Winding Journey. Full of humour and pathos, and packed with zany and compulsively readable characters, these stories will provide mind-trips to anyone of a certain age, while younger readers will find no better flavour of the city anywhere in all of literature. The musicians' ear, is as usual fully employed, and the voice within these tales is rough-hewn and condensed. In bringing Cork's bygone era to bristling and visceral life, Pete Duffy has produced one of the year's undeniable must-reads. A treasure!"
