{"product_id":"there-are-little-kingdoms-stories","title":"There Are Little Kingdoms: Stories","description":"From the author of City of Bohane, a debut collection that \"could easily have been titled ‘These Are Little Masterpieces'\" (The Irish Times)\n\nThis award-winning story collection by Kevin Barry summons all the laughter, darkness, and intensity of contemporary Irish life. A pair of fast girls court trouble as they cool their heels on a slow night in a small town. Lonesome hill walkers take to the high reaches in pursuit of a saving embrace. A bewildered man steps off a country bus in search of his identity―and a stiff drink. These stories, filled with a grand sense of life's absurdity, form a remarkably sure-footed collection that reads like a modern-day Dubliners. The winner of the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature and a 2007 book of the year in The Irish Times, the Sunday Tribune, and Metro, There Are Little Kingdoms marks the stunning entrance of a writer who burst onto the literary scene fully formed.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1555976522\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1555976522.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Barry, Kevin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
