About this listen

How would you describe life? If you bumped into God and it asked you to give an overview of what life on Earth was like, what would you do? You wouldn’t tell it one long, drawn-out story. Not at all. You’d give it a mixed bag of quick stories to give it a good taste of what life is. If that day did somehow come about, and you did find yourself talking nonsense to an infinite being on a lovely summer’s day, I’m sure you’d never again forget to keep yourself hydrated.

"Fleming writes with a very Irish turn of phrase which makes this somehow both more entertaining and absurd yet authentic at the same time. Very enjoyable.” (Chris Greene, RTE broadcaster, Dublin)

"As good as anything by Kevin Barry and Donal Ryan." (Robert Craven, Irish author _
