Reseña del editor:

A funny, direct, lively and moving account of growing up in small-town Ireland. Healy lovingly coaxes his childhood into being until, one day, his elderly mother hands him the coded diary he kept as a teenage tearaway and the uncut past burst in like a blast of raw air.

"I found myself moved to tears by its devastating honesty, quiet lyricism and profound humanity. It's a terrific book." Arminta Wallace, Irish Times

"It hops and jumps through childhood and adolescence to the deaths of his father and mother, mixing the surreal with solid concrete, weaving humourwith a sustained sense of loss...Each page spills over with wonder." Aisling Foster, Independent on Sunday

"The writing is superb, intensely idiomatic without being obscure...the book leaves one with a sense of exhilaration." Catriona Crowe, London Review of Books
