Spartans of the Corrib: and other stories

By MR Jake Arden

Described as "the heir to the Irish master story teller Frank O'Connor", Jake Arden draws on his unconventional childhood to create a quartet of stories charting the trials and tribulations of Joe Hill. We are taken on a rocky but poignantly funny journey from bohemian family chaos on an island in Lough Corrib in the 1960s, to Dublin in the 1970's, Galway in the 1980s and a marriage drowned in a Walthamstow pond in the 90s. Two ghost stories and some droll observations about London life in verse complete the collection.
