A construction worker's future is bound to a feckless and suspicious workmate. A young woman's burgeoning social activism is constrained by hardship and the desperation of selling puppies online. A wedding guest recognizes a panhandler attending the reception. And a man crafts a concealed weapon with which to carry out his nightly circuit of paltry retribution. Through keen-eyed observation, and with an impressive economy of statement, Doyle conveys these characters over a backdrop of private absurdities and confusions--countering the overbearance of a post-tragic age with grit, irony, and infinitesimal signs of hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Doyle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1550817590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550817591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Breakwater Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Terry Doyle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078408302847,"sku":"9781550817591","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b28efcdb-6b5f-4175-a7e7-cd9d662b02db.jpg?v=1685475338","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dig-terry-doyle-9781550817591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
