Summary

Why does the mysterious Mr. Washington slowly demolish a house? 

"A surreal blend of black humour, metaphor and gritty but exquisitely executed urban squalor, which for all its ingenuity never loses the soul of its story." (The Sunday Business Post.)

Blackly Humorous and Skilfully Narrated

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.

An odd story though it oddly wraps you in

It's an odd story though with the introspection of the protagonist and the shifting timelines it keeps you entertained. Dublin life in such a world is rarely explored
