About this listen

This brief story gives an insight into the life of the Dublin underclass and the mindset of a man approaching the end of his life.

Amidst the somewhat grey environment, it has some very good black humour and moments of real humanity.

It is also well narrated, with a good pace and some excellent voice acting.

Blackly Humorous and Skilfully Narrated
