From pimps to Shakespeare, langoustines to lurchers Dillon's short stories bite . . . hard. Welcome to Dillon's world; a world where murderous poultry and evolutionary elephants make their mark. Des takes you from the darkness of The Illustrated Man and Jif Lemons to the laugh out loud Bunch of C****. These stories are instantly accessible and always personal. Relationships and places and language are set precisely with few words and no flinching. If you're an alcoholic, recovering alcoholic, insane, a policeman, prisoner, gold digger, farmer, animal lover, Scots Irish or Irish Scots you may well recognise yourself somewhere in this book.
