A National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Honoree Winner of the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, the Guardian First Book Award, and the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature Enter the small, rural town of Glanbeigh, a place whose fate took a downturn with the Celtic Tiger, a desolate spot where buffoonery and tension simmer and erupt, and booze-sodden boredom fills the corners of every pub and nightclub. Here, and in the towns beyond, the young live hard and wear the scars. Amongst them, there's jilted Jimmy, whose best friend Tug is the terror of the town and Jimmy's sole company in his search for the missing Clancy kid; Bat, a lovesick soul with a face like "a bowl of mashed up spuds" even before Nubbin Tansey's boot kicked it in; and Arm, a young and desperate criminal whose destiny is shaped when he and his partner, Dympna, fail to carry out a job. In each story, a local voice delineates the grittiness of post boom Irish society. These are unforgettable characters rendered through silence, humor, and violence. Told in Barrett's vibrant, distinctive prose, Young Skins is an accomplished and irreverent debut from a singular new voice in contemporary fiction.Binding Type: Paperback

Not your typical beef stick
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Always looking for beef sticks and jerky and stumbled on this brand. First order was for the spicy and was not a fan of the seasoning but liked the fact that they weren't greasy at all. So, I ordered the traditional and these are really good. The flavor really agreed with me. These will definitely be going with me on my next fishing trip.

My favorite new snack
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Yes these are good and yes you should buy some.
My now go to snack. About as natural as it gets so the shelf life isn’t too long but they usually get eaten well below the expiration date.
Buy in smaller quantities

Great Dividers
Size: 6 Panel-120"W, Color: Beige
Love these!! Many uses. Simple, nice looking, sturdy overall. Well made.
Bought to divide the unsightly storage area from the calm rest area in the basement.
Also, these worked well for our garage party where the dividers let light and air in, though blocked the view of our party area from the cars driving by.
