Kevin Barry, the ambitious Irish writer who has said many times in his speeches that he has a Nobel Prize in his head and has always compared himself to the greats of the history of world literature, won the prestigious Rooney Prize in literature in 2007 with the first collection of short stories he wrote. Ireland took it. In this book, each story is independent of the other story about the lives of different people in the modern world and different cities of Ireland. Although the setting of each story is different and stretches among the winding towns and villages of Ireland, from the author's hometown to the northwest, the literary style of the book is reminiscent of James Joyce's The Dubliners written in the modern world. . Most of the stories are based on the real Irish rural life; Except for two stories that use magical realism and two stories that provide a metaphorical vision of Ireland. One of the users of the Goodreads website wrote about this book: "Each of these stories is an independent work of art. They should be read slowly and carefully because the author has chosen all the words carefully. These are not the events that advance the narrative part of the story; Rather, the author's descriptions carry the burden of the narration."
