Irish short stories capturing the essence of growing up in Ireland
Reviews
“Petes stories are raw, edgy and totally authentic. They reflect through words, the best and worst of human nature and as a reader you find yourself carried along on a journey into the world of storytelling. So vividly does he capture the readers imagination and sense of connection, you are never quite sure whether his stories are summaries of real events or the workings of a fantastic imagination.” Orla Kelly - International Author and Publisher with Orla Kelly Publishing. “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!” Billy O’ Callaghan – Irish Book Award Winning Author of ‘The Things We Lose, The Things We Leave Behind.’ “I would like to wish my long time friend Pete Duffy the best of luck on his new book Life is a Winding Journey. I very much enjoyed the stories from his last two books and his fantastic song writing skills and I look forward to his newest book when it is released. Great work indeed my old friend.” Jim Larkin - Host of Sounds of the Emerald Isle radio since 1982 on WVBF Radio Station in Massachusetts, USA.
