About this listen

Henry Gallagher is a failure.

Born into a broken family, now a young alcoholic struggling with mental illness, Henry is successful at one thing: destroying his life. While spending his time and waning finances at local bars and on any woman who will show him affection, Henry reflects on his past, seeing no future than the one he believes has been preordained for him. From a funeral in Ireland, to a chance meeting with a German millionaire, to a booze-soaked and bloody version of Last Tango in Paris, Henry's life is both darkly humorous and unapologetically human. Accompanied by stories of other down and out characters fighting their way through the underbelly of society, Jack Moody's debut collection poses Henry's greatest question: Do we end up where we do purely because of the choices we've made, or are some of us simply doomed at birth to fail?

I’d heard a lot of good things about Crooked Smile and really enjoyed Moody’s short stories. I’m so glad I decided to start at the beginning with Dancing to Broken Records. Although I had an idea of what to expect I was still blown away. I must have been four chapters in before I remembered this was a collection of short stories. Moody is so true to his individual style that it knits these sometimes harrowing, often humorous and never far away from the gritty reality of life together in perfect harmony. Comparisons to Bukowski are inevitable in Moody’s writing but you can really tell that this is an influence rather than definitive of the exceptional talent he is. Moody isn’t just a great indie writer; he is well on his way to being one of the modern greats. Now on to Crooked Smile…
