This omnibus of selected short fiction is the perfect introduction to the talents of this Irish successor to James Joyce and Samuel Beckett (although Higgins's work is perhaps more reminiscent of his Welsh contemporary Dylan Thomas), and displays Higgins's warmth of language and character. From a melancholy tale of suicide in \"North Salt Holdings\" to a colorful depiction of J. J. Catchpole's escapades in \"Catchpole, \" Higgins builds his characters into touching failures who both attract and repulse the reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAidan Higgins is an Irish writer.
