Cannibals - Dan Collins

Unique, dark and erotic, a stunning debut from a distinctive new Irish voice.

Eighty-eight compelling bulletins reveal the fractured essence of our age, illuminating and exploring the pleasures and perils of these, the zero years of the millennium. The random chatter of strangers, encountered fleetingly, leaves our heads awash with biographical detail, exotic and banal, critical and trivial. We enter the characters’ lives through seemingly disconnected fragments, characters who go about their lives in a welter of heartfelt lies and stony betrayals, wallowing in bad jokes and bad sex, and trading in novel ways, the old commodities of pain and bliss. The eighty-eight pieces include everything from ‘A Thing About Hotels,’ to ‘In the Limo with S,’ to ‘Novelty Knickers,’ to ‘Zest.’
